Further to what I wrote yesterday, "the 2 IDN algorithms: ToASCII and ToUnicode
perhaps would need tweaks hence ToASCII2 and ToUnicode2 with perhaps ASCII
registrations needing also an ACE sort prefix, say yn-- similar to xn-- that
are put for IDN. This development could then allow MDN (Multilingual Domain
Names) that would help the users that are multilingual / would like
multilingual text at domain name platform."
You can have for MDN another ACE sort prefix, say zn-- to distinguish them from
IDN and ASCII registrations.
