[idn] International v. Universal

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@openldap.org>]

In conversations regarding my LDAP IDN I-D (a new revision
is pending announcement), a comment was made that's LDAP's
existing attribute type DC should be renamed ADC (ACE or
ASCII domain component) and the new type IDC (International
domain component) should be called DC as domain components
should be domain components.  While I would oppose renaming
any existing type (as this breaks things), I have been think
that IDC may not the most appropriate name for the new
attribute type.

While we are 'internationalizing' the domain name system, what
we hope to produce is a 'universal' domain system.  So, I'm
considering renaming IDC to UDC (Universal Domain Component).

I wonder if might be appropriate to consider such renaming more
broadly.
