I'm only a little concerned about grandfathering. I _am_ concerned that
the whitelisting mechanism supersedes the proposed algorithm and allows
for arbitrary charaters on labels above the level of the domain that the
registrar issues and can vet.

Can we do a hybrid system, where for whitelisted TLDs we accept
registered domains as found and then apply the algorithm to the rest of
the labels (effectively eTLD+2, though I don't know if we want to drag
the public suffix list into this).
