Dear Mark,

Most users will never ask for all possible positions of a tonos in a word to
be registered as domain names, since there is usually a cost related to the
registration. 

As a registry we provide them with the domain with tonos in their chosen
position and the domain without it without extra cost. So, for every IDN
registration they get two domain names. For every domain containing a final
sigma they might get four domains per registration. Sometimes they decide to
register a few more for the usual mistypings. Nobody to this date has ever
requested all the possible domains of the bundle to be registered, since
although domain names are not words the users usually like them to have a
meaning. If they are meaningless variations of the original domain they are
not too interesting as a product.

If on the other hand you would like to register ancient Greek words then
different accent styles would come into the game. A good xNAME solution
however is not dependant in the PUNYCODE form, this is beyond the scope of
this discussion. The xNAME solution should be one to make Latin domain trees
equal. The xn-- part is no more significant than any other letter.

Kind Regards,

Vaggelis Segredakis
