I don't think non-ASCII domain names should be called UTF-8 based domain names, but the general thought that these rather new domains might contain considerably less legacy content than the two-letter ASCII country domains seems quite attractive. Overall, I agree with the question by others of what's the expected "ROI" on this is. With UTF-8 being more and more popular for Web sites, the return for changing fallback encodings is definitely deminishing. Regards, Martin.
