Overall I think this document is in good shape. I have a few small comments.

1. In the Introduction, I think it would be useful to explain a bit more
clearly the difference between an inclusion-based approach (only the
codepoints that are explicitly included will be allowed) and an
exclusion-based approach (all codepoints are allowed unless explicitly
excluded). There's text about this in Section 4.2.4, so perhaps we could
simply move that up.

2. Section 4.2.2 quotes UAX15. To provide a bit more context for the
statement about NFKC perhaps not being appropriate for comparing human
names, I suggest adding a sentence like the following after that quote:
"In general, it can be said that NFKC is more aggressive about finding
matches between codepoints than NFC."

3. In Section 4.2.2, spell out "LDH" on first use (and perhaps cite one
of the DNS specs on the topic).

4. Section 5 states that "Recommendations for handling protocol
incompatibilities resulting from changes to Unicode are required", but
it seems to me that this is a matter for application protocols that use
the replacement for stringprep, not the replacement itself.
