Do you mean that labels with 20 Greek characters will have 1M
aliases just for case insensitive domain names, optionally with
DNSSEC, for free?

Or, do you mean customers must pay 1M times more to make domain
names with a label of 20 Greek characters case insensitive?

Neither ares very practical, I'm afraid.

Or, do you mean that they just think DNSSEC impractical.

I'm afraid aliasing problem is unsolvable internationally even for
case insensitivity,

For example, how should 'y' with diaeresis can be case insensitive
when 'Y' with diaeresis dose not exist in ISO-8859/1, which assumes
'Y' with diaeresis never appear, but dose exist in Unicode.
