False. See http://cr.yp.to/proto/idn.html for a detailed list of the changes required to make your proposals work. The list includes changes to DNS servers, SMTP servers, and many other programs. I realize that you claim that IDNs are already ``working'' on every Internet computer today. That's because you have an idiotic definition of what it means for an IDN to ``work.'' You say that calling a string an IDN makes it an IDN, even if users read and write it as ASCII. In contrast, every user I've talked to thinks that non-ASCII displays are the whole point of IDN, and considers ASCII mangling of a so-called IDN to be a failure, just as a Quoted-Printable display is a failure. ---Dan
