 A "U-label" is an IDNA-valid string of Unicode characters, in
      Normalization Form C (NFC) and including at least one non-ASCII
      character, expressed in a standard Unicode Encoding Form (such as
      UTF-8).

I suggest to define the following terms:

U-character:
 A "U-character" is a non-ASCII Unicode character, in
      Normalization Form C (NFC) and expressed in a standard Unicode Encoding Form of UTF-8.

U-string:
 A "U-string" is a string of Unicode characters, in
      Normalization Form C (NFC) and including at least one non-ASCII
      character, expressed in a standard Unicode Encoding Form of UTF-8.

A-character:
  An  "A-character" is an ASCII Unicode character, expressed in a standard Unicode Encoding Form of UTF-8.

A-string:
 An  "A-string" is  a string of Unicode characters,  including ASCII
      characters only, expressed in a standard Unicode Encoding Form of UTF-8.

are  the definitions above clear?

another question is that we define these new terms in rfc5336bis or in rfc4952bis?

thanks.
