For a light intro, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode
Or, for the real stuff, http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3490 A list of examples, just to see what is, or at least should be possible: http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnste/archive/2006/09/14/754882.aspx I think it would be nice to support IDNA at least on a compatibility level as apparently quite a few of web2py users have native languages (and potentially domains) other than english. IDNA (love it or hate it) has gotten a lot of flak recently (and in most cases rightly so), but at the moment it's the only way you can have meaningful non- english names/words in your domain name.
