Hello Paul,
If your 'exactly' refers to the last sentence of Stephane,
i.e. if you say that mapping with such a table is okay because,
even though a brute force implementation will not scale, there
are other implementation alternatives available, then this lets
me wonder about the following:
One of the overreaching goals of IDN/IDNA was that we would not
have to change anything in the DNS servers. If we now say
"well, we'll just fix this problem by fixing DNS servers",
then don't we invalidate our whole approach?
