There are no known compatibility issues in having the CN match the A-Label
form (that is, xn--).

There are no known display issues in having the CN match the A-Label form
(that is, xn--).

There are known display and compatibility issues in having the CN use the
U-Label form. Notably, Microsoft Windows CryptoAPI is the only API that is
known to translate the U-Label into A-Label. Software which does not
support SAN traditionally expects a byte-for-byte match with the hostname,
which will be presented in its A-Label form.

Unfortunately, some CAs voted against providing this guidance within the
BRs, and thus the ballot (
https://cabforum.org/2017/07/26/ballot-202-underscore-wildcard-characters/
) failed. No further details have been provided as to the basis of the
objecting CAs, so the Forum is left with little input as how to make this
acceptable to them.

The ballot could otherwise be resubmitted unchanged.
