[idn] eszet (ss, sz, ß, call it whatever you want)
AFAIK, in German there are some specific cases in which you have
to use ß instead of ss. Needless to say, it was not the same throughout
Germandom: in Switzerland, the character is not used. The writing
reform happened some years ago changed again things, reducing the number
of cases in which ß has to be used. Moreover, there is no uppercase
form: you have to write SS. In short, a mess :-)

Yes, but we could have a mixed-language domain name: what about
paß-per-tutti.it ?
ciao, .mau.
