well, there are issues that the original idn, and the later idnabis 
working groups didn't examine as exhaustively as others, and to assume 
that every issue related to i18n and/or l10n on or off the wire was 
adequately addressed by one or both is very, very generous.

That one was surfaced at the Mexico ICANN, with some bright young 
thing dreaming of ".4u", presenting at least two problems in presumed 
policy land.

P.S. The bright young thing's idea has been on a major registry 
platform provider's list of applications-in-hand subsequent to the 
Mexico meeting.
