You had another alternative? IDNA uses Unicode. Adding an alternative encoding is just begging for trouble.

Why does this need to be classed? I can see a reason to add it: maybe a future CLASS would not need any ACE. But thought experiments, proposals, and experience with other protocols so far suggest that it would be easier to create DNSng than it would be to add a new widely-supported CLASS to the DNS. We can't even get new RRTYPEs widely supported in the DNS. A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@anvilwalrusden.com
