Interesting post. I've been away from this issue for a few years but still find it fascinating.

You mention deviating a bit from JPRS' approach - what about TWNIC and CNIC? And from some things I've read, haven't some countries moved towards a total foreign language structure, what used to be called (maybe still is) ml.ml? Which of course opens a whole new can of worms.

Yes, the new term for ML.ML is IDN.IDN, or more specifically IDN-TLD. The question is not if but when IDN-TLD will be available at the root level.

Very successful launch by all accounts. Our members at dnlocal.com many of whom live in the Far East Report enormous enthusiasm for this extension in both China and Japan.
