I want to review these documents, but since time is short, maybe someone
can answer my question...
Are the actual domain names as stored in the DB going to be canonical
normalized Unicode strings? It seems this would go a long way towards
preventing spoofing ... no one would be allowed to register a non-canonical
normalized domain name. Then, a resolver would be required to normalize any
request string before the actual resolve.
So my questions are:
1 - Am I way off base here? If so, why?
2 - If not, is it already addressed in these docs?
3 - If it is not in the docs, and the request makes sense, then I will make
the effort to beat the deadline, which is next Monday.
Thanks!
Barry
