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".
