>From my observation, many of long name organizations seem to register
both "exact" name and "shorter" name.  I agree that shorter domain
names are useful for end users.  While, I think it is also important
for IDN to maximize possibility of representing organization's exact
name.  The difficulty of remembering would depend on how much the name
is popular.
