IDNs and an upcomming possible chaos?

[Joly MacFie]

FYI - I already kicked off a discussion of this on the At-Large list:
http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/at-large_atlarge-lists.icann.org/2009q4/006347.html

There appears some consensus that this is not specifically an ICANN problem,
but one of application implementation. However it would behoove ICANN to
provide definitive guidance to both developers and the public on how best to
avoid confusion
