Hi Rinalia,

Thanks for raising this matter. The test cases in UASG004 provides all
patterns to be tested (not scripts), such as:

* Domain Names
* Domain Names with a Unicode extension
* ASCII local part email addresses with each domain
* Unicode local part email addresses with each domain

For full coverage, these patterns will need to be tested with each script
of interest. This is a lot of work, and as you have pointed out, this is
perhaps best done within the At-Large Community.

Also, APRALO has at least one ALS whose primary area of work is language
computing, and we can perhaps use their volunteers as well. I will make a
posting in the At-Large Worldwide list about this.
