Some script mixing *within* a label should be restricted as it is a security risk. Script mixing across a FQDN or between local part and host seem to be rather likely scenarios instead.<br>
<br>
For certain scripts, ASCII admixture (just ASCII, not all of Latin) would be common practice in the writing system and it may be common enough/benign enough to allow it.<br>
<br>
However, you might also want to address European digits for those scripts where native digits exist and are widely / predominantly used, vs. scripts where the native digits are more of historic/cultural interest. (In Arabic you have both, depending on the region).<br>
<br>
Mixing digit sets in the same label should be a no-no and indicated something's not well-formed.
