Just clarifying before I agree 😊, what is an example of the second case where it's an unreasonable expectation?
Things related to the many, many weird cases. We're not going to fix all issues with confusibles, we'll always have bidi issues and various other troubles that come from mixing scripts, there are many problems that come from the fact that it's often not sufficient to know the script and not the language (ö vs oe in German and Swedish, for example, or where to sort ö in German vs in Swedish; difficulties caused by the two different Turkish "i" characters; and so on), and a bunch of other things like that which mostly amount to only occasional and mostly fairly minor problems. "Geez, that text looks silly!", is a minor problem. "It won't take my password!", is a more serious problem, but there are (unpleasant) workarounds. "It tells me that my domain name / username / email address is invalid!", blocks you completely. b
