But where do we start? Is not this a good opportunitiy and place to begin?
I am very much for a ACE+UTF solution and I think we should work on both
before we submerge ourselves into a possibly irreversible journey into ACE
forever.  Once a specifcation for eventually using UTF in DNS is set, it
will layout a framework for all the protocols that depend on DNS to start
upgrading.  The point I am trying to make is that DNS has to move first, it
has been from the begining, or else, why would the other protocols have
depended on DNS at all?
