You forget the legal hassle that would arise if a TLD Registry
forgot to tell people what their ACE-encoded string is. Or the
support hell that arises -- think angry customer who screams "I
wanted "r�ksm�rg�s", not this bq-- blaha!!". I see a strong need
for registries to print out the ACE encoded form in all kinds of
correspondance with their domain name holders -- provided that ACE
is chosen.

MOUSTACHE ... Have you ever noticed th' way it radiates SINCERITY,
HONESTY & WARMTH? It's a MOUSTACHE you want to take HOME and introduce
to NANCY SINATRA!
