It's not a layer 9 problem, it's a layer 6 problem. Remember layer 6? Let's say I am the operator of a bank in Wukesong. (Unfortunately my [IETF] mail reader can't handle Chinese characters.) I want to register, in Simplified Chinese script "wu ke song jin heng . zhong guo(simp)" which is the way my customers recognize my bank branches. And, being in Wukesong, I am not too interested in an international presence other than overseas Chinese who probably grew up there. (If I wanted to go international, I'd ask HSBC to buy me.) And let's say that DNAME is used in the root zone, and CNNIC has elected to choose to continue to use "CN." as the "real registry" with DNAMEs redirecting "zhong guo (simplified)." and "zhong guo (traditional)." to "CN." What do I configure in my servers? (Mindful of 4.2.1.3.) I don't want to have to configure "Wu ke song. CN." because that involves latin characters? Does the restriction with DNAME mean I have to? The analogy in the draft of uppercase/lowercase as a precursor to IDNs doesn't work though. Uppercase/lowercase is enforced in the "presentation layer" of the DNS protocol stack. It would be nice if...IDNs were too, but that ain't gonna happen. One of my favorite sayings is "don't let the bus drivers determine the route." DNAME is very attractive to DNS protocol designers and operators because it is an easy way to configure the DNS to look like it fully supports IDN. At first it seemed like a natural fit to me too. The alternative of maintaining a copied tree seems fraught with consistency problems and other issues in comparison. The alternative is fraught with problems. No doubt. But it can be worked to fit. Sure some operators will have failures in consistency, but these problems can be worked out. The question will remain open whether it is financially desirable to do so. (Remember, if I have CN, ZG(simp) and ZG(trad) I will be loading three zones into the primary servers and slaving each, etc. It'll be 3x the load of just one of them.) It still comes down to the small enterprise owner though. What is the Wukesong owner told to configure? Do I have to hire on someone that knows "CN" or can they rely on someone who can handle just ZG(simp)? Or will this be taken care of at the presentation layer? I think this draft is in the early stages of documenting a needed design choice. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis NeuStar You can leave a voice message at +1-571-434-5468 As with IPv6, the problem with the deployment of frictionless surfaces is that they're not getting traction.
