[Idngwg] should registries be allowed to implement techno-policies that violate these IDN Guidelines

[Wael Nasr]

How would registry to registry variation in IDN implementation reflect on a
global user experience ?  if there are major differences across registries
then users will be confused and affects the whole progress of IDN.

I think the guidelines should create uniformity across registries and a
single clear linguistic user experience.
