This is a specific problem for Verisign Testbed.

I do not see the significant of discussing this particular 'problem' in IDN
WG. If (i mean a BIG IF) there is an ACE solution, then there should be one
defined prefix.

Hence, this discussion is probably more appropriate in the testbed mailing
list in Verisign. The WG are interest in the testbed but I dont think interest
to solve specific problem for any testbed or company.
