Orie, thanks for your input.
In John Klensin's note on February 16 [1] and my reply to John on
February 17 [2], I sensed that we were moving in the direction of
greater clarity regarding differences in purpose between
draft-bray-unichars and the IDNA/PRECIS standards. I'd like to see the
authors engage with those messages, for two reasons:
First, I suspect that doing so will lead us in the direction of removing
the PRECIS profiles.
Second and more importantly, it will help us and future readers
understand what draft-bray-unichars is trying to accomplish and why
internationalization regarding packaging formats differs significantly
from (and can co-exist with) internationalization for addresses and
identifiers.
If I can help nudge that conversation along, please let me know.
Peter

Hi,
Based on the discussions here, I have a slight preference to remove the
profiles.
I'd say that it would be better to convince Peter that they are needed,
than myself.
I agree with his comments here: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/

IANA has asked me (as the designated expert for the PRECIS Profiles
registry) to review the IANA registrations in draft-bray-unichars-10.
However, my sense from list discussion is that the next version of
the
document might remove the PRECIS profiles. Are the authors leaning in
that direction? See below for more context.
Our feelings on the subject aren't strong, but we agree that it
seems the path forward is smoother without the profiles. We'd like
to retain the section 2.2 language citing RFC7564 and encouraging
readers to consult it. At this point consensus is Orie's call and
we're OK with whatever he says.
