This document explores the issues in the registration of
internationalized domain names (IDNs). The basic IDN definition
allows a very large number of possible characters in domain names, and
this richness may lead to serious user confusion about similar-looking
names. To avoid this confusion, the IDN registration process must
impose rules that disallow some otherwise-valid name combinations.
This document suggests a set of mechanisms that registries might use
to define and implement such rules for a broad range of languages,
including adaptation of methods developed for Chinese, Japanese, and
Korean domain names.
