The points can and should be ignored for Internet domain name resolution.
They cannot be ignored in all cases for all Hebrew-script
applications anyone can come up with now or in the future, either
for Hebrew or Yiddish or Ladino or whatever. Similarly, Letter case cannot
be ignored for Latin-script languages either in every application possible. But I feel
as a Yiddish expert that they can and should be ignored for the application
in question, Internet domain name resolution. I claim this applies very
much to Ladino, though I can't claim expertise in that language, only superficial
knowledge. Other Jewish languages (using Hebrew script) are archaic and
are not in use, or hardly in use, by living speakers.
