I don't understand the new concept behind IDN.IDN. It's supposedly so that the end user can type a domain in their native alphabet. This is to make it easier to type what they're looking for.
However, in Japanese if they were to type let's say Alcohol.Japan (お酒。日本, osake.nippon) they would still need to switch their keyboard layout to enter the correct "dot" because in their alphabet the "dot" is that little circle thing and not a commonly seen period.
So, my question is I suppose, why type native, not native to create a dot and then native again?
It seems to me that IDN.IDN will be more difficult to type in Japanese (and I believe other Asian countries use this as well) rather than using the A-z alphabet since you don't need to switch keyboard layouts 2 times in order to type it.
Edit: Unless there is a browser update that converts that dot into a period...

You can already use the dot as long as you have an IDN compatable browser.
