(At least until ICANN changes its mind.)According to this mail: http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/registrars/msg00532.html ... apparently it breaks IDN resolution. Does anybody have the definite word on that?Hm. And how would it suppose to break IDN resolution? Client encodes the hostname, then asks the DNS about already encoded name. So the bind receives the request about, say, "xn--szkoagwnahandlowa-lyb21mca.pl".I don't think Niels was referring to the "proper" IDN solution, but more the stopgap implementation which Verisign pushed into service. It actually resembles Sitefinder in many ways :/
I only referred to the archived registrars mailing list posting; I'm not following IDN much as, even though it's nice to see actual work being done in that area, it does smell of VeriSign landgrab. I'm interested in what has also broken due to the rash wildcard addition by Verisign. If anybody has any more technical information on this, please step forward. Regards, -- Niels.
