Please review the working group email archive.  It has considered this 
topic extensively.  When you can a) provide explanation for the specific 
failures to the working group discussion, and b) a viable specification for 
solving this open research topic, there might be something to talk about.

The solution you seek can be added to registry administrative policy later.

Until then, please consider that further delay means that there is no 
standardized DNS support at all for any characters other than ASCII.

Please consider whether it is better to wait years for a perfect, complete 
solution, or whether it is better to do something useful sooner.
