Hi,

That all sounds reasonable. But isn't this WG being incredibly intransigent
by default? It was like pulling teeth to get the last RFC to say it's ok to
ship only TLS 1.3 (2018), and now I guess we're refusing to accept that
there are emoji domain names, even though they obviously exist. Maybe the
best thing to do is break every rule from IDNA2008 that passes UTS-46, and
put it on the internet. I bet the WHATWG already did this, but another
effort couldn't hurt.

thanks,
Rob
