Graham;
Leaving aside the issues of competing registries, touched upon in that
article, I had been wondering with the formation of IDN WG how I18N would
affect cross-character-type-boundary Internet activities.
Nothing.
Cross-character-type-boundary is a pure localization issue
and has nothing to do with people wrongly working on I18N.
PS: I think it is without doubt that it is a Good Thing that we make
efforts to internationalize protocols;
If only you understand what "internationalize protocols" mean.
ASCII (latin, numeric and hypen) characters are the only characters
internationally recognizable by so many people.
