RE: [idn] An open letter to the IDN WG (long)

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

I suggest this should be phrased positively:

People seem to want to be able to use the characters of their own language in
the identifiers we use for DNS.

I'm not sure people really care how these identifiers are stored or processed,
they just want to use the script they know, rather than learn a foreign script.

And when they use their script, they want the system to take care of
representation problems, so that if they see a host name in their script in an
advertisement on the side of a bus they don't have to worry about coding issues
such as half width, precomposed etc.
