A Registry can certainly take care of SLD, not of lower levels. IMHO the problem is no more with IDNs (no one want to change RFC 3490!), but to avoid to propagate the problem into the IRI. For that we need to have a precise langtag to precisely define the IDN locale in the IRI and precises rules concerning the way the IDN should the be built in the IRI (including the TLD). Obviously such rules should only be to inform the user (I do not thing there is way to force them), so may result from a BCP.
May be interesting to write it, rather than to leave it to ICANN or to ITU? jfc

Is this exact? This is urgent as the IRI is based upon IDN and support of multilingualism is a WSIS priority and comments for the WGIG are to close the day after tomorrow.
Thank you.
