PDF is hardly an ASCII list.
Well, it contains only characters from the ASCII charset.
I personally don't see why it should be on a IANA server.
As for "should it be common to all the gTLDs", I honestly believe
the answer should be "no".
These opinions of yours are opposed by gTLD contracts with ICANN.
Does that apply to the "old" gTLDs as well?
There is a IANA registration for IDN Table, even very poor.
The proposed "RFC 3066bis" Draft lead to a debate where the authors
who are discussing the language tags to be registered by IANA
described as outrageous the idea that they should consider IDNs
and be consistent with them. Do you support that?
I don't think consistency across gTLDs is necessary (nor do I
think consistency across ccTLDs of countries using the same
"scripts" is necessary). What does matter is that the policies
are published and open for discussion. It is ok that the policies
evolve over time, in which case "legacy" registration need to
be considered.
