The DNS issue

• some characters look the same but have different meaning
• some languages have optional characters (hebrew) and are they meaningfull for dns ?
• some scripts see accented letters as one some see it as composition of 2 elements
• capitalisation


• problem with encodings (support, conversion)
• resolving the address must work in 2 ways : www.foo.cn and cn.foo.wwww
• some punctuation symbols have local alternatives : "." in an IME is often represented as a "。" so should there be support for both or only one of them ?
• should traditional input be converted to simplified input ? or should it be 2 different domains. but what with simplified characters that represent several traditional characters
