Well, I did :-). But anyway, I think there has been quite a bit
of discussion, and it may make sense to try and wrap that up in
a first draft of the req doc, and then go from there.

What I haven't seen discussed much yet in terms of requirements
is how much we want to include or exclude combinations of
ASCII-only labels and i18n labels. I seem to remember that
on some list, somebody from China said that this is not
needed (i.e. a full domain name is either all in ASCII or
all in Hanzi), but I think that for languages written with
Latin letters, such mixing is clearly necessary. What do
others think?
