Dear Stephane,
I am afraid you read IETF too much. Govs in 102 talk about real world. What 
they want is "real life" mnemonics (RLMs) to be transcripted into a DNS 
accepted semantic and scripting.

Current IETF IDN group proposes a (partial) response using Unicode scripts 
and a non workable (not RFC 1591 conforming, IP bugged) proposition. As you 
know phonetic solutions will certainly be used. We have to cease seeing the 
Internet as a unique US/IETF controlled system.

Internet is only an interoperation of machines using some compatible 
protocols and three kinds of directories : physical addresses, software 
domain names and brainware real life mneomics. We have to start working 
seriously to understand how all that may work and to dramatically improve 
security, stability and innovation.

In doing that we must have no a priori (against OSI or others, or pro 
TCP/IP) otherwise we will not wind up with a performing solution. We are 
right now in a clean sheat situation, having identified that the current 
system just does not deliver.
