Re: [idn] opting out of SC/TC equivalence

[Dan Ebert <dan@enic.cc>]

It seems to me that it would be more confusing if TC/SC behaved
differently for different TLDs.  One of the (I think beneficial)
features of DNS is that the behavior is uniform across all TLDs (com
works like net works like org ...).  I would suggest that it may be a
better idea to use have a script on the web server look at user IP or
browser environment variable to determine what page should be displayed
(or redirect to a different server).
