For languages that use the LDH characters and for which a registry does not have explicit inclusion tables, the LDH table may be used as a default table for registration requests tagged with those languages, pending fully developed inclusion tables becoming available during the course of dialogue between the registries and their reference groups in the respective language communities. The decision to apply the LDH default to a given language will be made in consideration of the requirements applying to the other scripts that might appear in the full inclusion table, such as the restrictions on bidirectional strings imposed by the IDNA standard.
These measures will be implemented in the shortest possible time by all of the IDN registries listed above.
AFAIK, only com/net has not implemented the restriction in the paragraph quoted above. This may be an indication that Verisign will essentially stop allowing languages for which they have no inclusion tables? If that's the case, it's certainly good news for the community.
Nothing has been said about the pre-existing names in those registries, and how they would deal with them in the case of renewals.
