Specific proposals on the sameness problem I made this time are:

	to give up to have localized domain name

or

	develop extended case insensitivity description language

and

	to give up DNSSEC or run extended case insensitivity
	database on clients

which you failed to read.

The latter proposal is similar to John Levine's recognition:

Remember possible case insensitivity issues related to Greek or
Chinese equivalent of

	yyyyyyyyYyyyyyYyyyYyyyyyYyyyyyyyyyyyYyyyy

or

	iPod

That you want to have IDN politically does not mean IDN
exist and even localized domain names are so hard to have,
which is the technical reality.

However, you are saying you can't accept the technical
consequences only to waste yet another 10 years.
