ok, let me make it really clear.  In my opinion this is where I see us
heading:
1. the standard being IDNA (MIME like approach)
2. transition strategies that takes into consideration immediate user
experience will be deployed by responsible registries for their users
    - these may be and are most likely 8bit+ solutions
    - and takes the query sent by existing applications and resolves it
correctly

I am saying that my work on TRACE-01 is transitional.  Yes maybe it will be
used for a decade and more, but it is meant to be an informational document
on how to get from where we are now towards IDNA, however long it may take.
