RE: [idn] case folding

[Jonathan Rosenne <rosenne@qsm.co.il>]

In addition to case folding, two issues have to be considered: normalization
and excluded characters.

For Hebrew, we definitely should exclude the bidi formatting codes,
cantillation marks (0591-05AF) and some points (05BD, 05BE, 05C0, 05C3,
05C4). Regarding the points (05B0-05C2), since it seems that case folding is
agreed for Latin scripts it seems to me logical to exclude points, but if
not some normalization would be needed to make it work.
