No, they will according to the paper primarilly use ACE, and secondly 
use UTF-8, and have a CNAME from the UTF-8 to the ACE.

I have talked orally with VGRS people here in San Diego, and pointed 
out the difference from the report we got from the Protocol Design 
Team at the IDN wg meeting. I further said that using CNAME is 
probably not a good thing.

VGRS said that they will change the paper according to the status of 
the wg, i.e. remove the untagged UTF-8, as that now seems to be the 
path the wg is going.

As Rick said, further discussions about the testbed on the specific 
mailing list for the testbed.
