Too early for this but...
The question is why should someone be force to have one domain name in ASCII?
You wouldn't. If you didn't put an ASCII record in, you wouldn't get one back.
This is why I do not think a new RR in DNS for I18N is a good idea. I see this
as a issue which DNS can solve, ie thru DNAME and CNAME. We should really
think along how to put I18N character set into RR and not creating new ones.
Rob's proposal isn't an RR - it uses another field, which indicates "label
syntax". So it would be applicable to any RR. (No, I hadn't heard of it
before his proposal either). (Rob - please explain...)
However, I agreed that Rob's proposal on tagging the label is something we
need to consider seriously. In fact, Nakayama-sensei has express that this is
what my proposal lacks.
