We're looking into this issue; however we've never been able to allow high-ascii characters in contact information (must be encoded as an "'" type string) since XML::Parser (a part of the XML API) doesn't handle high ascii very well.

I am agree with this comment, high-asci characters was working well in the contacts information before system move but I made a proof today and it is not working now. I also want to comment that some tech support people are not so good as we need because I received the same response that David Sanchez about five months ago (june 8) ("Only ASCII characters are allowed in the contact information for domains") by someone called Frank in tech support but I just changed some code to use race module and it worked. But at this momment it doesn't When I received this response from tech support it really disapointed me because it was really easy to resolve but... I really need this non-ascci chars functioning because I serve latin people at it will be terrible for my business. I hope tech support people grow or change (not all of them of course) -- Gabriel Pinchevsky Internet Masters S.A.
