Re: [idn] Report from the ACE design team

["James Seng/Personal" <James@Seng.cc>]

1. both bq--aauf4326fe and bq--abpf6xq are invalid RACE if we follow
   the specification closely.

2. If you want to talk about "(^o^)" and "^_^" TLDs, the appropriate
   forum is not this WG.

Please keep to the technical discussion on topic. Thanks!
