Re: [idn] hostname history hell

How about this as a believable compromise: We start with a "safe set" of
alphanumeric characters and specifically exclude punctuation, spacing,
symbols, and combining characters. Meanwhile, {some group} is going to
investigate the use of additional characters in the DNS and the allowable
set may be expanded at some point.

The obvious problem with this approach is that it will be difficult to
coordinate the two lists between the implementations.
