Good -- I'm glad you do.

ACE is the end result and Nameprep and Punycode, while different, are 
contributory. Okay, so outside of me, only techies will ever hear of 
the details and I'll keep those secret.

It's not my feelings that matter. If it don't brother you and the 
rest of the idn, then there's no problem. I was just suggesting 
considerations that may reside outside of the idn group. Please 
excuse my business experience, from my perspective -- perception 
matters. If you don't want to capitalize on that, or don't think it's 
an issue, then that's fine. It was only an observation and subsequent 
suggestion from someone outside your circle.
