Due to the wonders of IDN, we can probably also abuse this into "eXample.com", "exAmple.com", "EXample.com", "ExAmple.com", etc. As "example" has 7 characters, I calculate we can have 127 variations of this. We also now have ~1513 TLDs, so we can have 192151 variations.... Currently an RFC is "Each page must be limited to 58 lines followed by a form feed" -- this means that if we published an RFC with only these variations, and no other text, it would be 3,313 pages long (and more like 87,000 with boilerplate :-)). This is 6.6 reams of paper, or a stack ~35cm high (13.5" for mericans...) I encourage someone (not me!) to write this....

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of pants. ---maf _______________________________________________ OPSAWG mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/opsawg
