  I've had discussions with a number of WALID clients who are interested in
deploying IDN resolution capabilities and have tried other, so-called
"server-side" approaches.  Those that in particular focus on requiring ISPs
to make changes have met with limited success in getting them to do so.

  There is a tremendous amount of inertia in the deployed nameserver
infrastructure.
