I replied privately to most of your points which are not related to my mail to Pat Kane. I want however to address one of your suggestion in here as it is of interest to everyone to understand what is the real situation.

While I think that an "International coordination list" would be helpful, my assumption is that ICANN's idn-discuss list (see http://www.icann.org/topics/idn.html for subscription information and some other information that might be useful) is intended to serve that purpose.
I suggest everyone to access the archives of that ICANN list dedicated to the IDNA deployment.

It is pretty clearly not this, or any other, IETF list: the IETF made a series of fairly explicit decisions to not get into the business of deciding what things could or could not be registered within the very broad coding mechanisms specified as part of IDNA.
This is why this list should probably be moved elsewhere when it starts discussing real issues.
