The Uniprep issue Paul brought up during the wg
meeting I think is very interesting and personally, I have thought that there
should be something like this all along. Anyway, these are my
thoughts:
Uniprep - Unicode Identifier
Preparations
Nameprep - Domain Name Preparations
Uniprep will be a looser specification for general
Unicode Identifiers.
Nameprep will be include mandatory compliance with
Uniprep and then on top of it will include some or all of the
following:
- additional mandatory preparations specifically
for domain names (might not be required)
- Optional elements for zone operators
- TS Conversion
- Jpchar
- Hangulchar
- others...
In other words, most of the existing Nameprep might
be moved to Uniprep, while Nameprep becomes an architectural document for
prepping domain names which references to Uniprep and the other language
specific mappings, plus possibly some additional preparations specifically
for domain names.
Does this make sense?

PS. perhaps Uniprep might better be discussed
outside of the IDN wg...?...
