Re: ICANN CEO: IDN's could "break the internet."

Punycode with 37 Latin letters can handle the processing for all 50,000 international letters and symbols some jackass is suggesing has to be crammed into the root of the DNS and internet to make it "truly" international.

IDNs will be mainstream in the next few years via the punycode system, long before they bring forward even an Engineering "idea" of how they would even go about ADDING 50,000 new symbols to the LESS THAN 100 letters, numbers, hypen, symbols etc. that operate the entire system today.
