What hundreds of scripts are you referring to?

There are 54 contemporary scripts in the latest version of the Unicode code 
chart with 14 more in the "pipeline". It is unlikely that all of them will 
figure in any discussion of IDN, much less appear in the namespace, and few of 
these scripts are mixed in the writing system of any language. Of the "Ancient 
Scripts" that are additionally included, no more than a half dozen might 
conceivably be requested for IDN availability, and there would certainly be no 
mixing of any.
