That would resolve the conflict in rfc1035, and a.isi.edu would be legal
under the rfc952 inheritance rule.

There is a lot of, umm, infrastructure history with single-character
delegations which would also need to be revised and fixed, so the question
at this point goes to those parties who control those rules.

This does need to be resolved before we can define absolute parameters for
i18n host identifiers.
