One way is to do this in the manner specified by another group. For example,
UNICODE has a standard set of procedures for canonicalisation that would
cover this situation. My point was simply that we need a single method,
independent of the details of that method, for canonicalisation of DNS names.

As near as I can tell, EVERYTHING relating to the DNS is "potentially
controversial". However, we need to move forward rapidly and make headway
so that a multi-lingual DNS that is globally interoperable can be deployed.
IMHO, we can't be shy in this situation.
