This is very interesting prospective. Given that the PDP is about IDN
ccTLDs, the TLD strings should all be pertinent "country or
territority names". It would be rare that one ccTLD want to interfere
another ccTLD's IDN string in the same character set. At least, there
is no problem in Chinese or CJK group, e.g. “日本” fortunately is the
same in both Chinese and Japanese and "新加坡" is the same in both China
and Singapore. I'm not so sure about Arabic usage of country names.
