Dear Paul,

Yes, You point out the key point. The problem is caused by  Unicode 
ambiguity.

Because of Unicode ambiguity, many critical problems will comes out:
the registration dispute of 2^n, the delegation/resolution inconsistent, 
the naming
uncertainty.

CDN requirements are extremely required in CDN users daily live.
All of the problems caused by Unicode ambiguity shell hurt CDN.
