You are correct since when mutil-lingual DNS is supported the language won't
be set and thus will (this is a guess based on current discussions with
people who are involved in this) resolve as an english domain rather than a
foreign language and thus won't resolve to the foreign domain correctly. The
exception might be if you registered a domain already re-decoded by RACE and
set the language to none (which is english then by default) and pointed it
to the same place.
Does any of this make any sense the way I am trying to describe it?
