CJK peolple have problems without REORDERING.
Other european folks but You martin (han experts),
won't install han/hangeul fonts even in his/her PCs, i guess.
Most europeans will see leaked ACE labels sometime in the future
when IDN host/email addresses are everywhere and interchanged globally
like LDH ones.  surely,
IDNA WITHOUT REORDERING also become pains for non-CJK folks.
