Nothing in IDNA "removes all upper case letters". Please point to the specific text of IDNA that you think does so. > And in [13] it says that the >protocol must specify how characters are encoded in DNS records. >This is not solved by IDNA - it only says how characters in names can >be encoded. Not true. It says exactly how they are encoded: using the ACE that will be picked by this WG. >In [19] it is said that cononicalisation must be done at a single >well-defined place in the DNS resolution process.

That is impossible. Canonicalizing Unicode strings will possibly destroy data no matter where you do it. --Paul Hoffman, Director --Internet Mail Consortium
