Well, one of the ideas with IDNRA was that Paul and I wanted to show 
that the functional requiremens on using internationalized 
domainnames in applications can be solved without changing the 
characters used for hostnames in the DNS and other protocols. Just by 
upgrading applications and resolvers. In that sense ther is a "D" 
component.

Remember that this was what I suggested you in the iDNS team the 
first time you presented your ideas in the INET meeting some years 
ago ;-)
