To me that says if looks or feels like a dot Com, then it has got to be a dot Com.

That's it, what can they use if they can't use the transliteration for .com, and .net?

Everything is falling perfecting within our expectations. If .idn can't supersede .ascii, then we're left with .asciis, and within .asciis, Dot Com rules number one in the Middle east and Asia.

Depending on how the trend progresses, i might be restrategizing and reconsidering my .ctld hedging plans.
