(more)Re: [idn] spoofing by combining diacritical marks



I found   all unicode characters with some _COMBINING SEMANTICS_
share the same problem.

To list some of them:
  Hangul fillers, Various signs in Hindi(Devanagari) and other Indian scripts,
  Combining Diacrticial Marks

We need some "registration guidelines" informational RFC to inform
zone-masters of this problem.
