<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for addressing the observation. You are correct that in a single script context script-mixing does not make sense, but since this paper may be intended for a wider audience then a clarification is warranted. The updated version does
that so thank you. Just one minor edit, the “more information” references in 1.4.d should be 3.3 and 3.4, IDN guidelines and Unicode Report 39 respectively.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All, Dennis,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for all the comments that we have received on the Guidelines on linkification for URLs with non-ASCII characters so far. We really appreciate it!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Based on your input the Russian working group have prepared the updated version of the guidelines taking into account existence of local languages where script mixing is allowed by default.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Initially we focused on mostly Cyrillic script and local languages based on it, that’s why script mixing issue was not considered in this particular aspect. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here are both versions of the document for your convenience – redlined and updated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The script mixing paragraph 1.4 was enriched by point (d) plus some other additions.<span lang="RU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We hope our work will be helpful for the whole community. In case UASG members consider this document valuable, you are welcome to use the proposed guidelines for further development.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">One observation on 1.4.a (script mixing). There are known writing systems, namely Japanese, that will mix Unicode scripts in a single label. These scripts are Hiragana, Katakana and Han. Romaji (Latin) might be used in conjunction with
the others too.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
