exceptions, none of them involving non-Latin characters.
While to the making of many proposals is no end (to paraphrase an early
source), this doesn't mean that they are likely to go anywhere. Adoption
of any such proposals would run into very serious headwinds in regions
that see this as a perfect issue to assert national identity via domain
names.
That alone would be a good enough reason to not spending time on
mentioning them.

PS: it's not clear to me whether "strings" as means of accessing
resources that are exposed in the UI or document contents will remain
the preferred technology. So far, search and the use of apps have
resulted in some inroads, but we are still far from an inflection point.
If and when we reach it, any of these considerations, but also the
proposals you mentioned are automatically moot.
