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

["ben" <ben@cc-www.com>]

Hi Edmon,

I could care less about other registries and what they do.

However, I do care about my own "Supreme CDN system" because this
system takes the benefits of others to combine into a supreme.  It is
to be implemented for the benefit of everyday ordinary people who will
be the user of CDNs.  My supreme system does not allow mixing unless
you can give me a good reason.  If I think you have a good reason,
then I will modify my draft.  Otherwise I will not.

Tell me how confusing "ColorColourColor.com" and
"CentreCenterCentre.com" can be.  Then multiply that confusion
exponentially due to the "one to many" mapping of TC/SC chinese (among
others)... and you have the reason why I do not allow mixing of TC and
SC in my supreme CDN system.

Thanks
Ben Chan
