I'm talking about disallowing to mix characters from different scripts in one URL. European digits are used in Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Kanji, Arabic and other scripts. Similarly, the hyphen or ampersand are not tried to one particular script. Using European digits with Cyrillic, with Latin or with Arabic is not "mixing characters from different scripts" so there is no problem.
