Why is it that international domain names can't be implemented with some Unicode encapsulating 7-bit encoding? I understand that there will be issues of case sensitivity (for latin alphabets) on servers and incorrect display on old clients, but how many of you type your URLs in mixed case? The transition will go largely unnoticed. It'll be the responsibility of the creator of the domain to make sure his/her site is available, anyway.
