Re: [idn] Question for the Kanji & Hanja cognosentee

It is correct, there will be no disambiguations in 
DNS for anyone.  It has to be resolved at registration 
time.  Then do you need Hanja in Domain name at all?
Why? If Hanja names is only used for Chinese and Japanese,
then how do Korean people separated from each other? 
Are there many people with the same Hangul names?

I have heard a law suit case here, that a Vietnanese vs. 
another Vietnanese in the San Francisco area, both
sides of the case and a witness of the case all have 
exact the same name!  And they all need interpretations too.
Imagine the headaches for the lawyers!
