I'm saying you should accept the real world problems of:
other people needing more variants may suffer
from the trade-off.
and
That, even within European
(French) context, capital form of 'y' with diaeresis can be
'Y' or 'Y' with diaeresis is already bad enough for case
insensitive DNS.

Yes.
As it is obvious from the beginning that IDN is not practical,
I have been saying so.

No, as can be seen names on passport, internationally, every
country have a scripting system to represent their language
in ASCII.
Though some European country may insist that their passport
may include Latin-1, it is not fair for the rest of the
people who can't use their traditional script.

A commercial network can not support something operationally
impossible or, at least, impractical.

As I repeatedly state, so called IDN is not internationalized at
all and actually is localized DN, whereas ASCII DN is, like
ASCII names in passports, fully internationalized.
