Subject: [idn] Intro to my I-D
It appears that I-D will not be accepted til Aug
14, so there is plenty of time for me to prepare it. But anyways, here
is a very simple intro to why I am interested in "the need for conversion
between different (yet similiar) scripts":
I have a very small company that offers CDNs
(Chinese domain names). My hope is to be able to take the
benefits from other systems and combine them together to form a
supreme. (Although I want to emphasize that other systems are 100% fine
exactly the way they are.) Combining the following 2 benefits
together is crucial to my supreme system with both weighting EXACTLY THE
SAME IMPORTANCE:
Benefit A- A simplified CDN points to
a website that is written in simplified Chinese (GB encoding) for visitors in
mainland China or Singapore while a traditional CDN points to a website
written in traditional Chinese (Big5 encoding) for visitors in
Taiwan or Hong Kong.
Benefit B- When a registrant registers a
simplified CDN, the corresponding traditional CDN(s) is automatically reserved
and visa versa.
I will put all the details into the draft and
submit it by Aug 14. Hopefully, I can get 7 supporters- thank you very
much!
