AW: Mapping?

In which case, if ICANN/IETF sent out a directive to registries that
bundling should occur for a set time period do you think this would a.
alleviate the problem and b. facilitate ß within implementations (including
certificates)?

Certainly, when registering a domain containing ß registrars could include a
pop-up recommending that the equivalent domain using ss MAY be wise or that
an equivalent has already been registered and the problems associated with
it.  

I know this is outside the scope of this WG in some respects but unless we
can be confident that Registries/Registrars are going to be a. informed of
the problem and b. advised as to how to deal with it these problematic
characters cannot be classed as PVALID IMHO.

Note that your statement shows exactly that this problem is not just limited
to registries in german speaking countries. It will affect any registry.
Even those that never allowed any IDNs - if they allowed registration of
"ss" character sequences, they are exposed to the transition problem you
decribed above.

And i've never heard of any registry disallowing "ss" sequences, so it
affects the whole industry, not just our esteemed German colleagues and us.
