RE: For review: An Introduction to Multilingual Web Addresses

I've just uploaded a results page for the IDN tests at
http://www.w3.org/International/tests/results/results-idn-display.php

While writing up the results, I added a few additional tests to
http://www.w3.org/International/tests/test-idn-display-1

I'll wait a day or so for comments before linking from the site (and pointing Opera to the tests).
