[UA-discuss] Checking for Mixed Scripts in a domain name or email address - is this a UASG issue? - Group Discussion

[Stuart Stuple]

I believe you could use Unicode definitions of scripts as, in that system, numbers are NOT Latin. (They are ANSI and ASCII but Unicode clearly separates them and punctuation.)

That said, the other concerns (about whether this is within remit and whether it is a good practice remain.

Hello Don,

usually IDN cyrillic contains digits, so one of the examples is not correct (Cyrillic+Latin Numerals is not a mixed script).

https://www.iana.org/domains/idn-tables/tables/xn--80adxhks_ru_1.0.txt<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iana.org%2Fdomains%2Fidn-tables%2Ftables%2Fxn--80adxhks_ru_1.0.txt&data=02%7C01%7Cstuartst%40exchange.microsoft.com%7C782eb85495ba4d81404408d4ddcc9f27%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636377318366514294&sdata=d4hXA4lp8vKiNeQIN6VHRJF2RGsk7m3PkBkmNapg3ew%3D&reserved=0>


usually issues arise with the string containing chars , which do not fall into the same IDN table, for example
something from IDN mistakes -
tчху

xn--t-cubfh



from
https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/reserved-names/ReservedNames.xml<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.icann.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fpackages%2Freserved-names%2FReservedNames.xml&data=02%7C01%7Cstuartst%40exchange.microsoft.com%7C782eb85495ba4d81404408d4ddcc9f27%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636377318366514294&sdata=iL4gpIGnwTnxvCAUFcH0791zWpk7lZdYQqAuBBX%2F3XM%3D&reserved=0>

Or, which is important, IDN string from the table not allowed for the particular TLD

for example moscow.москва  or москва.moscow (both TLDs are strictly one script, only Cyrillic Russian in the first, and only allowed  ASCII symbols in the second)

P.s: formally each TLD has IDN policy or "no-IDN policy" and it describes allowed combinations, and what is important it might change over the time
(for example some old TLDs decided to allow some of IDN tables).

We’ve had the following suggested for the Programming Language Criteria:

    Could we include one more test case in "Programming Language Evaluation Criteria ".

   1. checking of multiple script in Email,Domain,Url.

              deepak.भारत  contain two  language script (Latin, Devanagari)


I understand the thinking behind this, but I’m not sure that a) it’s in our remit, b) it’s a good idea c) it will be rejecting perfectly valid domain names (CJK, Cyrillic+Latin Numerals, etc)

I also don’t know what standard this would reference or what policy it would reference.   Something from the Unicode group or M3WAAG?


Your thoughts, please.

Don
