Mark, I clearly agree with this, and with Paul's point that 
UTF-8 is not part of IDNA.   But that, it seems to me, is an 
argument for Simon's tests containing those tests, rather than 
against it: if non-validating/ non-conforming UTF-8 converters 
are out there, then testbeds that catch them would seem to be in 
everyone's interest.
