Verisign is not necessarily treating the ASCII encoded standard english
registration approach with the same...hmm...value?...as the other domains.
For example, once this initiative gained some momentum a while back, many
RSPs did exactly that....converted ML names to their RACE names
(bq--blah.com) and then registered that in standard english. Verisign saw
this as a kind of cybersquatting, and gave the names a different status than
those registered 'correctly' .
However, this is not to say that it won't work and you shouldn't do it; this
is simply my current understanding of things (being reasonable new to my
role managing this project). I'll look into it, and get an official answer
from Verisign.
Thanks,
Ken
