Clearly. So is this:
"IDNA-aware applications MUST be able to work with both
non-internationalized labels (those that conform to [STD13]
and [STD3]) and internationalized labels."
going to go away from the IDNA document? It is misleading. Or maybe replaced
with:
"IDNA-aware applications MUST be able to work with both
non-internationalized ASCII labels (those that conform to [STD13]
and [STD3]) and internationalized labels."
(where ASCII should be replaced by some other definition since 0000..0020
and U+007F are prohibited by Nameprep-07; unless Nameprep is changed to
allow them since ToASCII now has an explicit "hostname" step).
