-Registries may want to consider enforcing limitations on package names added

+Registries should consider enforcing limitations on package names added to
+their index. Cargo itself allows names with any [alphanumeric], `-`, or `_`
+characters. [crates.io] imposes its own limitations, including the following:
+
+- Only allows ASCII characters.
+- Only alphanumeric, `-`, and `_` characters.
+- First character must be alphabetic.
+- Case-insensitive collision detection.
+- Prevent differences of `-` vs `_`.
+- Under a specific length (max 64).
+- Rejects reserved names, such as Windows special filenames like "nul".
+
+Registries should consider incorporating similar restrictions, and consider
+the security implications, such as [IDN homograph
+attacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack) and other
+concerns in [UTR36](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr36/) and
+[UTS39](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr39/).
 
 Each line in a package file contains a JSON object that describes a published
 version of the package. The following is a pretty-printed example with comments
