Re: [idn] Last Call on Requirements for IDN - 25

I think it is just badly worded, since the principle is clear.

[25] Case folding MUST be locale independent. For example, Latin
capital letter I (U+0049) case folded to lower case in the Turkish
context will become Latin small letter dotless i (U+0131). But in the
English context, it will become Latin small letter i (U+0069).

should be something like:

Case folding MUST be locale independent. If it were locale-dependent,
then different clients would get different results. For example, Latin
capital letter I (U+0049) case folded to lower case in the Turkish
context will become Latin small letter dotless i (U+0131). But in the
English context, it will become Latin small letter i (U+0069).
