Asmus-san,

Thank you for your explanation.  I also talked with Marc-san about 
why not ASCII mixing.

I personally understood IP's opinion and thought rational.  Perhaps 
most of Japanese TLD applicant will not apply string mixed with 
Japanese and ASCII.  But, on the other hand, there will be an argument 
that what is the criteria to overcome the bar for making exception. 

RFC 6192 doesn't prohibit mixed script explicitly.  B.3.2 of procedure 
document also doesn't provide criteria for permitting mixed script 
explicitly.  It is very appreciated if IP declared that ASCII mixing is 
permitted only for Latin script.  It is very hard to persuade Japanese 
community without external evidence.

My aplogize for difficult request.

Best regards,
