This regulation is going to be completely unenforceable, since with a few exceptions (hexagonal French), languages do not have bright-line rules saying what words they do and do not contain. Are we to be in the position of saying that eigenvector.com may be registered (and is) because the word appears in dictionaries, whereas eigenevent.com is ruled out because it "mixes" English and German? Forbidding the mixing of scripts is another matter, although in fact some languages are written using more than one (Unicode) script. -- "And it was said that ever after, if any John Cowan man looked in that Stone, unless he had a jcowan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx great strength of will to turn it to other www.ccil.org/~cowan purpose, he saw only two aged hands withering www.reutershealth.com in flame." --"The Pyre of Denethor" _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
