Hi Michael,
Not sure which part are you disagreeing with: 1) main driver for analysis is technical; or 2) linguistic argument not relevant; or both?
sorry the misunderstanding. I should have better expressed what I referred to. I meant the statement that 'the target market of sharp S (Germany) has been conditioned (by their country code registry operator) that domain names using sharp s and “ss” are different.' That is not the case.
Anyway, the key message I was trying to make is that the analysis on sharp S is on technical grounds. That the technical issue originated because of linguistics conventions getting into protocol, sure. But absent of the technical issues we would not be exploring this case, would we?
I think we nevertheless would have explored this case, but the discussion would maybe have been much shorter and wouldn't have taken months.
