Dear colleagues,

If you can't tell which diacritic is used, that would logically be a case for a variant relationship between all potential options, but not the unmodified basic letter shape itself. 

Best,

Hi Bill,

Dear colleagues, 

I would like to show why I think the various diacritics below (not just
dot and macron) ought to be accounted variants as well.  And I thought
I'd do it as an email, because that's likely to be the way (along with
links on web pages) that most people will get links.  

By way of example, consider one of the original TLDs: .mil 

_www.teștexampļe1.mil <http://www.xn--exampe-0cb.mil/>_
_www.testexampḽe2.mil _
www.testexample3.miḽ <http://www.testexample3.miḽ>
_www.tesțexample4.miļ <http://www.example.xn--mi-gqa/>_

Can you honestly say that you can tell which cases of .mil have
diacritcs under the L?

And if you think you can, did you notice which
cases of "testexample" had them? And which diacritic? Because I sure
can't.

Yes, I can honestly say that I can see something under the l of example
for the first two cases and something under the l of mil in the last two
cases (plus some other strange things under s in the first and t in the
last case.

Which diacritic however, is something I could not tell.

Furthermore in the first and the last case the actual link didn't match
shown address, but that's a complete different problem, out of our scope.

Best regards,

Michael
