It is worth reading the thread starting with the above message if you want to implement IDN ... so far I've got to: http://www.imc.org/idn/mail-archive/msg02900.html where Klensin chimes in: > If I am a tech support guy in Europe, and some users calls me > up over the phone asking me how to access his Korean domain > names, I probably freak out anyway.

James, I think this is illustrative of one of the key problems, and is tied to the reason why I no longer believe in a "class=IN" DNS-based solution. I believe that the only thing that helps that tech support person is for the call to never occur, and that means we have to engineer protocols and user interfaces to do the right thing in the marginal cases.
