<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This is a fair comment. We probably need to use the LTR and RTL nomenclatures, which is the essence of those test cases. That also makes it generic for all RTL scripts, not only Arabic.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#006600">Arabic characters are Unicode, and Arabic domain names are also IDN.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#006600">The only difference is the LTR and RTL reading order, which is probably done by the rendering part, but storing and validating is the same.
