Kyle;
There seems to be a debate to split "DNS" from "Directory" services,
whereas, in long term, it is inevitable that DNS will merge with
Directory services, even if current technology isn't that way.
Huh?
URLs are the result of such merge.
URLs have ASCII domain name part followed by a path and search part.
You can put any local characters with any local encoding scheme to
path or search part of a URL. Browsers further encode them with %
escape. Localized web servers to recognize such a URL are available.
That's all and it's working.
