My perspective is that libidn2 should contain all IDNA2008 related
functionality any network application needs. This requires exporting
some native Unicode APIs (like NFC). The big missing piece is TR46
though. If all of this would end up in libunistring I'm happy, but I
can sympathise with Daiki's concerns that adding non-Unicode stuff to
libunistring appears unclean. I think libunistring is quite big
already. Implementations of IDNA2008 uses tables that adds size
further. But I don't care strongly, having things implemented and easy
to use is more important.
