I do not think many people see the difference between ’ and ', and allowing such characters and %, !, $, * etc is something I would say is a bad idea. Very bad idea. Not everyone can have "their name" as a domain name. Because domain names are domain names, and not words and names.<br> <br> That said, I see your point regarding already registered domain names. Same thing for domain names that include arrows, snowman etc.<br><font color="#888888"> <br> Patrik<br> <br> </font></blockquote></div><br> _______________________________________________<br>Idna-update mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Idna-update@alvestrand.no">Idna-update@alvestrand.no</a><br>http://www.alvestrand.no/mailman/listinfo/idna-update<br></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
