 While I agree with the intent, I wonder if the text should
 be more specific that just saying "some".
 But it is hard to do this without having a forward reference
 to either sections in the document, or referring to nameprep.

 Ideas?
A reference to nameprep would work:

"... to include the Unicode repertoire with restrictions described in
[NAMEPREP]."
Although this is true, it feels like it is too early in the IDNA document to say this. Having the problem statement contain no references makes it much easier to read. "with some restrictions" tells the reader enough to know what Simon wanted, which is that it isn't the entire repertoire.
My Frenglish? "some restriction" sounds unprecise to me.
What about "limited restrictions" which implies the author did his best to limit the size/number of restrictions (thefored well defined?)jfc
