The world is full of bad addresses, on and off the net, including bad ICANN domain addresses, not caused by ORSC. People who elect to use ORSC addresses know full well what are the limits, and they do not generally use them to hand out to people that cannot use them. So, this presents ORSC with some market barriers, but you have not yet cited a single real case of disruption for anyone. So, this discussion is entirely based on hypothetical and imaginative problems, as far as I can see. Please find a real case to discuss.
