You think otherwise, so the real question is the basis for YOUR
issues. So far, you appear to be preferring to rely on possible futures,
and on claims that IDNA is somehow special. Yet the implementation and
operational impacts of this specialness has not yet been made clear
Dear Dave,
I am afraid you base your comments on what you consider as the standard
common today practice. That practice for you today is to use standard
writing when sending a mail or entering a domain name. To universally
enlarge that capacity (such as using 16 or 64 bytes character coding) is
for you a future scenario of middle interest.
Our today practice is to be blocked by a passed scenario (8 bits) in not
using the standard writing when sending a mail or entering a domain name.
We are only trying to remove asap that specialness. Because we do suffer
for years of that limited implementation and of the operational impact on
all our other application and common life. As if you were obliged to use
computers only in Cyrillic uppercases.
As long as this has not been accepted, we obviously have an understanding
and a wording problem. Which may result into a disinterest, and alternative
solutions to be used, there too.
