Re: [idn] Prohibit CDN code points

[bill@mail.nic.nu (J. William Semich)]

I interpret Mr. Tseng's suggestion differently - that any <ml>.kr could 
indicate Korean, any <ml>.cn could indicate Chinese (or whatever) and any 
<ml>. jp could indicate Japanese. I think that's what he means by "we 
assume the ccTLD implied the language used."  Additionally, <ml>.kr.com 
could indicate Korean, etc.
