they're frickin kidding, right?

if web addresses get international characters, it better get a lot easier to type them.

anyone know how to type the "null set" character that some nordic languages use?

perhaps sites with language specific domain names will prove to only be useful to people in countries where the language is spoken... seems like a bad precedent to me.

having said all that, the specific solution being proposed for handling this is retarded. instead of telling DNS server vendors to support unicode, they're making the DNS records even more obtuse than they already are. hack hack hack.
