So my question remains: are we doing the 3 billion asians a favor by forcing

.... You don't believe me? Take the character
string 'valdis.kletnieks', change the first e to 0113 (small e-macron),
punycode it,
and let me know how much mnemonic value it has.
VALDIS.KLTNIEKS-q6B
Doesn't look too bad to me (I could guess which of the contributors to
this thread it related to).
But it wouldn't be of much use to a mongolian name, though.
