Puny code isn't supported is it? I thought ACE was the standard?

Please find below clarify after Verisign:

Verisign said:
Native Characters
This is a string of native characters that have been registered with the VeriSign GRS IDN Testbed.

RACE
Row-Based ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE)- This is a string of ASCII characters that have been registered in the VeriSign GRS IDN Testbed.

PUNYCODE:
PUNYCODE is a simple and efficient ASCII-Compatible Encoding (ACE) designed for use with Internationalized Domain Names. It transforms a Unicode string into a string of characters allowed in hostname labels (ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens) and back again.

Strictly speaking therefore punycode is the bit that comes after the xn--, I believe and the whole thing together is ACE, but in general parlence this gets called punycode.

Hope that clarifies things.

Best Regards

Hi

I know this reply is somewhat late, but i've just
had a look at this eBay listing and the seller very
clearly said that it was an IDN. I don't understand,
therefore, why some of you guys are suggesting
that this sale was either a) a shill auction or b) the
buyer was somehow being misled.

*very confused*
