[idn] What happens to 8bit DNS requests

I really agree with Dongman Lee that we should understand the long term solution before rushing into an intermediate fix/hack.
 
About what happens to 8bit requests as they get sent, I have been urging that we should do some kind of study, at least to let everyone know what will happen if these DNS packets are forced through from, say a common application such as the browser, through the OS kernel.  Cause even if we use ACE, these requests will be sent via non-compliant browsers to affect the system.
 
To that end, I have finally put together a bunch of hand notes that we have been collecting about the "known issues" for multilingual domain names.  Please take a look and comment on it and add to it too.  http://www.openidn.org/issues.html
 
Dongman, do you have any studies on the effects of 8bit requests sent via other applications or OS?

I don't think it's a right approach focusing on a short term solution without
clear understaning/evaluation on what a long term solution would be. Moreover, the proposed decision should be made after thorough analysis of possible problems when non-ACE is used (e.g. UTF-8) which I suggested at the San Diego meeting.
