These differential schemes seem to be the way IDN (internationalized domain
names) are headed. They are intended for the limited scope of domain names
that have already passed through nameprep, which performs normalization and
further limits the range of allowable characters. I'm not sure how well the
ACEs would perform with arbitrary Unicode text. I suppose only testing would
answer that question.
