Agreed. However, I still have this strange idea (very clear in the now-ancient RFC 1591) that domains are expected to serve a community that if often not global, a concept that is consistent with Larry's more recent comment about "target audience". Within such an audience, the sort of criteria Larry is talking about are almost certainly helpful... again, as long as they don't interfere with the sort of global ones you identify above. Larry's criteria also make a strong argument for a clear target audience for a given zone or hierarchy. That is a problem for registries that want to be able to register labels from every possible script even if they put some restrictions on those labels, but we have known about that problem since the very first ICANN IDN study effort if not earlier. So I think there are global criteria (I like your list but imagine that we could improve it somewhat with more thought) that every label and FQDN should support and that there are relatively more local criteria that have to be evaluated against a target audience. I don't know if "primary" or "secondary" are quite the right category names, but I think we agree about the principle. It is also clear to me that, independent of anything that is done globally, someone is more likely to get themselves into trouble (or be tricked into it whether the tricks are intentional or not) with labels in a script that they find incomprehensible that with a more familiar one... and that is something we better just get used to because, beyond some point, technology won't help. best, john
