I'm not an expert on this, but I understand that Internationalized Domain Names IETF working group is standardizing an ACE (ASCII compatible encoding) to address the problem Barry pointed out. With ACE, existing network infrastructures don't need to be changed since the address string is all in ASCII. Last I heard that DUDE (Differential Unicode Domain Encoding) is a strong candidate. ------------------- Shigemichi Yazawa yazawa@globalsight.com
