We may need original spelling, for example if we decide that we need to
stop Arabic letters from joining, by using a ZWNJ between them (since a
space is not available). Multiword Arabic domain names will be unreadable
if the words join. But since ZNWJ is stripped at nameprep, we will
sometimes need to get to the original. You get the idea.
