If it is a different problem, what problem is it?
Most important, it raises the entire issue of scripts, which are not actually the identifiers in the DNS since the labels ICANN specifies for the DNS are actually not about scripts (since they're A-labels). And ICANN cannot technically and should not otherwise have an opinion about what scripts people are using lower in the tree (especially since people can and do use non-IDNA labels if they want). I'm also more than a little worried about the "sequences of labels" thing, since that re-opens the issue of where in the tree ICANN is supposed to stop, but I'm prepared to ignore that in this formulation if others really like it since it doesn't say "all sequences of labels".
"the average reader"? now there's a can of worms.
