This sounds reasonable to me. It was exciting to try, however!

<thwack> (The sound of my palm hitting my forehead) You mean I should

Yep, this looks exactly right. Now let's see if it works with real
data. Thanks!
FWIW, I'm writing a program to do domain name preparation, which is
being worked on in the IETF's IDN WG. I'm doing lowercasing and
checking for prohibited characters myself, and handing off
normalization to Martin Dürst's charlint.pl. I'll be making my
program public, and will let this list know when I think it is
somewhat ready.
