Single-letter names

[Vint Cerf]

no, I was specific that my remarks were oriented solely to the IDN  
question. I do not believe that our work on IDNs deals with the ASCII  
LDH question except insofar as we are constrained to assure that our  
mapping of IDN's expressed in some form of UNICODE does not conflict  
with established practices associated with ASCII domain names. It is  
clear that a valid IDN is a minimum of some 6 ASCII characters I  
believe, and that means none of the IDN work will directly implnge on  
questions about single character ASCII domain names at top level or  
elsewhere.
