[UA-discuss] Ideas of Publicly Accessible Test Suite of domain names

[Jothan Frakes]

Excellent ideas - If I could build upon them, some more robust variance in
unicode.unicode with respect to working with varied scripts (especially
RTL.LTR / LTR.RTL combinations - though fringe, might help counter
potential homograph email forgery) as the inter-operability of these is
going to be important.
