RE: [ietf-provreg] EPP Extensions for IDN

["Dan Maharry" <dan@mcd.coop>]

Interesting. 
I guessed that you needed three pieces of information for a IDN which should be stored in the extension.

- the Unicode version of the domain 
- the punycode ascii version of the domain
- the language code for the domain name 

Maybe you need some more. 

Francisco, is español.com.ve a valid whois query? 
If ICANN ever started asking for an IRIS server, holding both versions of the domain would make a lot of sense at this point - much in the same way that there are i18n'd and l10n'd versions of a contact's postal information in EPP as standard.

Interesting. We, .SE, only accepts the ACE-coded versions. Our domain
name validator does a roundtrip coding to see if we allow the
characters used if the name starts with xn--.
