Re: Layer 2 and "idn identities" (was: Re: [idn] what are the IDN identifiers?)

I dont really think I have mis-characterized the group. I am pretty sure
we have an agreement on step 1, ie, TC-SC is a problem. So lets put it
aside, move on and stop discussing about why TC-SC is a problem. It aint
useful.

However, I also agree with you that the question if TC-SC can be solve
within IDN WG or IETF is a valid one, one of the first question we
should ask in step 2.
