RE: [idn] An experiment with UTF-8 domain names

[Jonathan Rosenne <rosenne@qsm.co.il>]

I would like to note that my numeric IP address (for www.qsm.co.il) is shared
with other companies hosted by my ISP and they use the domain name to sort
things out. A numeric IP on my business card would not necessarily be equivalent
to an ACE or IDN.
