If idn.idn comes out i think it will end up rendering idn.com,net,org ect obsolete.
And whilst we are on. What is the IF about? ICANN has already stated this will happen. There is still a little uncertainty over the when, but it will be in the next 12 months. The How is going to be decided in Paris. There is also a little uncertainty over the what, but nobody in their right mind is going to suggest that China will not be given the Alias for CN that they have been using for the last couple of years.
Also you need to understand that Representations and Registrations are likely to be very different animals. There are a few things to sort out but dot Com will have local representations that resolve to the same IP. So there is not a cat in hells chance of the IDN with ASCII ccTLD going anywhere. To suggest that this would be the case just manifests ignorance of the subject.
This whole thread was a gratuitous attack on IDN right from the out. Totally without justification and without any kind of substantiation that makes sense to anyone that knows anything about the subject. Furthermore, most of this is a total affront to the cultures of other countries. Countries that if the US will need to form very firm trade relations, if it is going to retain any semblance of being and economic power.
