This is actually an interesting question. Since we know that there are actually quite a bunch of clients out there that uses bq--RACE, do we think that those testbeds (such as in the case of JPRS) should keep bq--RACE in the zone (together with xn--punycode) for a while for transitional purposes? Or must this be considered non-conformant to the standards? Edmon
