If people are curious, as I was, about why RFC 5890 restricts use of
Reserved LDH Labels, here is what I believe to be the relevant paragraph:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5890#page-8
> Labels within the class of R-LDH labels that are not prefixed with
> "xn--" are also not valid IDNA labels. To allow for future use of
> mechanisms similar to IDNA, *those labels MUST NOT be processed as*
*> ordinary LDH labels by IDNA-conforming programs* and SHOULD NOT be
> mixed with IDNA labels in the same zone.
(emphasis mine)
