Hm... the VeriSign registration fails ("temporarily unavailable"). GoDaddy seems like they will accept it, but I am not confident that it will actually works: https://www.time-travellers.org/shane/domain-like-an-egyptian.png The .NL version they recommend isn't in punycode, and the "protected" versions of the domain suggested are also not in punycode. Apparently according to ICANN the only TLD which support this IDN variant is VeriSign, so I guess that makes sense. But then how can they offer to also register .ORG and .INFO, which are Afilias-managed and (presumably) won't allow those characters? Register.com tells me that it is unavailable. Domain.com tells me that I can get it for .COM, .CLUB, .NET, .US, .ORG, and .ME but that sadly it is already taken in .CO, .ONLINE, .SITE, .WEBSITE, and .BIZ. Ug. -- Shane
