Re: New Internet Draft on registering IDNs

[Staffan Hagnell <shl@xxxxxx>]

Well, my point is that the "Allocation all labels" policy could be a bit 
messy for the owner. Therefore it would be proper to have some sort of 
information about that, for example:

If the input label contains several characters that have equivalents, 
the owner could end up having to take care of large number of zones. For 
instance, if DIGIT ONE is a variant of LATIN SMALL LETTER L, the owner 
of the domain name llllll.com will have to manage 64 zones.
