Do we want the imprinture of IETF on the IDN work or not?
If we don't care about getting this work aligned with other
DNS work, then we don't need an IETF wg, this mailing list
or the thrill of crafting protocols in the IETF manner.
Or, we can accept that the IESG places this restriction on
what they will approve. I think it is reasonable to do what
we can to meet the IESG criteria and then, if there is
agreement to document what would be a consensus position
on enhancements that are -not- backward compatible, that might
be the "right" thing to do.
Other efforts have had to deal w/ the concept of breaking
backward compatability, ranging from the introduction of new
RR types to eDNS. We can do this with the IESG constraints.
