</div>Please don't hijack this thread. </blockquote><div><br>????<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">The mapping of lower-case non-ASCII
characters with respect to upper-case apparently-ASCII characters is
_not_ the same question as the effects of lower- and upper-case ASCII
across the U-label/A-label boundary.</blockquote><div><br>I am sorry. I have not the slightest idea of what you are talking about. I read an attempt to come to a quick conclusion regarding punycode and where to carry mapping. Or am I wrong?<br>
<br>I am not competent enough (may I remind you that .fra project managers are not on this list anymore) to ask anything else that: how this may affect me as a French writing Internet user. To ask it the more clearly possible I quote he case this WG collectively identfied as being the simplest example of my need.<br>

I think the answer to your question has already, previously, been
provided. The answer is that what you would like is effectively
impossible at the global level, </blockquote><div><br>As far as I understand, there is one clarification missing. It is what do you define as "global" in here. Are French (and possibly Persian, and probably many others...) included? <br>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">and if you think the answer as to how
to do it is obvious then I think you and I have a very different idea
of how DNS works and what IDNA2008 is aiming to accomplish.</blockquote><div><br>This is what I try to determine. Sorry for being clumsy about it.<br><br>Let understand me. My colleagues claim to stick to the Internet architecture as it actually exists and to the charter as it is written. I saw them supporting my need without any change to the Internet. Just in adding a prototype software to my machine. They explained me that this should work globally (I understand "global" as the whole world diversity in terms of languages and usages, i.e. protocols for you). They also explained me that project ".fra" will respects ICANN test-bed requirements and IDNA interoperability as long as the Charter is respected.<br>
<br>However, they are concerned because identified others might come with a complete product and operational service without such a prior testing. <br><br>As a user I will pick what is best serving me and sounds proven enough. My side question to this Wil/Vint concepts only is: will it still be the case?<br>
