Braille is, according to my limited understanding, a method for encoding 
another character set in a form readable by people without sight. (The 
version I know of encodes something pretty like ASCII, but perhaps in 
other places in the world there are other versions encoding other 
character sets.) I therefore can't see why one would want Braille domain 
names; surely one would create the domain names in the character set in 
question, and convert that to Braille on output (e.g. using Braille TTY)?
