But that is exactly the problem I want to address: if you type:

	SOMETHING<U+FF0E>JP

For example, it will not be seen as a domain name in the .JP domain, even
though this was the intent (let's say also that JP can be in full-width
ASCII, which makes the U+FF0E very plausible). Just like typing:

	SOMETHING<U+3002>JP

won't. This is the exact same thing. So I think we need to handle it just
like U+3002 is handled.
