I' ve recently come to know that IETF is about to release drafts on IDN standards, and 
to my regret, I found that the document does not solve problems for Chinese domain 
names. and this defect in your drafts will result conflicts and chaos for internet 
users of Han characters, namely Chinese, Korean and Japanese, and the effect is 
international because users of these languages are all over the world.

It is important to know that while a certain character can have different appearance 
in Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese Character forms even though they are 
actually same words with the same meaning; at the same time, a certain character which 
might look exactly the same, but in fact are two different words with different 
meaning when applied to different languages such as Chinese and Japanese.

I believe that IETF bears great responsible in setting standards which will bring 
order to the internet world, and any document which might cause disorder, should be 
carefully reconsidered before release.Therefore, before IETF can resolve this problem 
and identify one mechanism which can differentiate these delicate language difference, 
IETF should not pass the document which would apply Unicode for IDN resolution, 
because this irresponsible decision is going to cause conflicts and chaos in DN 
registration policy and DRP worldwide.
