If someone wants a URI like the following: http://shop45.example/ but in a RTL context, what do you expect them to register/include in the DNS zone? The "45" here is in the same DNS label as "shop"--no dots are present. (shop45.franchisestore.example would be a bit more common, but there is nothing to prevent the inclusion of both numerals and other characters in many zones). The discussion to date has talked about an algorithm that reverse the whole string. But I'm getting the impression that this is shorthand for an algorithm that reverse the string except for well-known exceptions like the LTR numerals. Is that correct? regards, Ted
