That's the dumbest part of this plan, so far. If they only used
unicode for the second-level part, it would make a lot more sense to
me. I had never heard of this before, so there's probably a lot of
history and detail I'm not aware of.. from a quick perusal of the web
site, it looks like the company that came up with this originally
planned to be the authority for it, such that only people using
their name servers would be able to access these sites. Now that
there's "official" action being taken, presumably culminating with
changes to the real root servers, perhaps the final solution will
be more clever. (A couple of obvious possibilities suggest themselves).
