If A-labels conform to the rules in 1123 and all U-labels can be translated to A-labels, is BiDi an issue (for the DNS)?

The $10000 question has to do with the (for the DNS) part of what you write. Domain names are not only used in the DNS as we all know, and if you have a domain name that for example end with a "7", and you use this domain name in a text with right to left context, and some unfortunate characters adjacent to the "7". Well, then the domain name might "look weird".

So it is a domain name problem, not a DNS problem. And not a (big) problem if you only look at the Domain Name in isolation. It is the context the domain name is used in which create the problem.
