I suspect it would be helpful if this

Maybe? But having repeatedly participated in the creation of new pieces of general-purpose software and standards, some quite successful, has made me extremely nervous about asserting what they’re intended to be used for, because I’m usually wrong. -T
The PRECIS specifications, which
followed the lead of the IDNA specifications in this regard, are
primarily intended to apply to strings that go in protocol slots, such
as addresses and identifiers. Although the i18n requirements for
container formats might differ from those for addresses and identifiers,
it's not clear (to me at least) what the differences are. Doing this
could also help justify why the proposed PRECIS profiles are needed.
