That really isn't as surprising to me anymore as to why.
After watching them recieve all of this information, microsoft's stance, icann's actions, browser development, search introductions, mass idn registrations, monetizing adwords and search functions, ect, ect. After them getting all of this information and then have them say it won't work is easy to understand.
IDN's are a threat. Plain and simple. Sex becomes 性, φύλο, 성, секс, ect, ect. No longer will all of these nations need to rely on english keywords and english content. Their need's will be met, I expect to see massive traffic drops from these hot keyword english domains as soon as the idn's become fully functionable.
The simple fact that they keep going back to "phishing" as thier only defense just shows of their lack of knowledge and fear of foriegn languages. Phishing! I mean come on. It is the same as using part of say a french word, mix with and english word, and then us not being able to tell the difference.
I tried to register an idn yesterday that is totally ambigious. Just to see if it's still possible. The domain is хxx.com Just looking at it you would not be able to tell the difference. The fact is the first two letters are "Cryllic' and the last is latin character. It's shows available yet you can't register it.
Oh well, just means more domains for me. And when that day comes early next year that idn's are getting massive consistent traffic I also expect to see a massive rush by the early dissenters to register a remaining name or two, only to find that we have entire lists just prepared for that day. THEY ARE GONE!
Anyways sorry for the digression.
