but we can't tell whether we are doing this without defining what a "set" 
is, which gets us started down the implementation slippery slope.

We can say that "there is no requirement for mixing A with B inside a 
single label", where A and B are different subsets of the set of all 
characters.
Giving a few examples is probably Good Enough for the requirements.

A requirement that it should be illegal to do such mixing can be read as 2 
things:
- A technical requirement on the solution that it should be easy to identify
   the subset a character comes from, and either prohibit the mixing or say
   that there is no requirement on implementations that they support this
- An administrative requirement that no such label should be registered.

The first one belongs in this group, IMHO. The last one doesn't.
