Re: [idn] Prohibit CDN code points

Hi Tseng / Paul,

I like Tseng's idea for a new type of ML-gTLD very very very very very
much!  :-)

Unfortunately, I don't think it answers the problem Paul and I brought
up- which is what to do about the *current situation* with the gTLD
that has registered domains in Chinese, Japanese, Korean (even a
mixture of them) if infact we want to prohibit CDNs and let the other
IDNs move forward.

Thanks,
Ben
