Of possible interest to this list. John Levine and I are putting together this catalog so that people talking about "variants" at the TLD level can see what is actually deployed. This is *not* an IETF effort, and will be submitted to the Independent Stream for RFC publication in the not-distant future. We're definitely interested in corrections and additions to the list of gTLD/sTLD practices.

> Abstract:
> IDNA [RFC5890] provides a method to map a subset of names written in
> Unicode into the DNS. Some languages allow a particular name to be
> written in multiple ways that are represented differently in IDNA,
> known as "variants". This document surveys the approaches that
> ICANN-contracted top level domains have taken to the registration and
> provisioning of variant names. This document is not (and will not
> be) a product of the IETF, and does not (and will not) propose any
> method to make variants work "correctly".
