> The point is that there are going to be a variety of cases all of which have to be handled on a case-by-case basis. Yes, but I'd like to encourage the case-by-case to try to avoid punycode when possible. IMO it's better to say "let's use UTF-8 in this 8 bit slot" rather than "let's jam in punycode because it's easy." Both require updates to the system.. -Shawn
