Sorry, I left one important case out that deserves comment
(probably not the only one, but I'll leave others I've missed to
others)...

Please also keep in mind that you may, for many years to come,
have Hanguel-using customers within sites or environments which
have not upgraded their software.  Even if the ability to view
and enter Hangeul DNS names is an application issue only, it may
not be possible for them to upgrade their applications without,
e.g., action on the part of a slow-moving ISP or IT department.
That may argue strongly that you need an "English" set of domain
names for your Hangeul-based web pages (and email servers, etc)
as well as for your English-language ones.
