Thanks.  That is consistent with my impression.   My concern is
that the language and terminology won't make it clear about what
is being specified unless someone is _really_ familiar with IDNA
and the "EAI" specs.   It meshes with Patrik's concern that the
wording of the spec won't be clear to someone who is not _very_
good with English.

My impression is that there is little problem with the intended
underlying spec, but the document text needs some tuning.
