If that is the case, then why is it not a good idea to explicitly
label what type of script an IDN is in using 2LDs or TLDs?  (Other
then the fact that it is not interoperability and therefore should not
be a standard... )  This can be applied to all other language scripts
and not just <idn>.<traditional> and <idn>.<simplified> for Chinese
domain name users.  Users of IDNs are alot smarter and more
resourceful then we give them credit for, *as long as* we make it 100%
clear what script the IDN is in and not make it some kind of a
guessing game for them.

Thanks
Ben
