Just so I understand what you are suggesting, do you mean:

 (1) "don't use { Arabic, Hebrew, etc. } at all" 
 (2) "don't use { Arabic, Hebrew, etc. } if digits appear
	anywhere (in any label) in the domain name" 
	or
 (3) "don't use { Arabic, Hebrew, etc. } unless the FQDN
	is entirely in that (or some other nominally RtoL)
	script _and_ do not allow digits anywhere in the domain
	name"
 (4) and (5) Either (2) or (3) but with "anywhere in"
	replaced by "at the beginning or end of".
