Heads up folks. Today ICANN added 11 IDN TLDs to the IANA root zone file.

ADD:     XN--0ZWM56D.                       NS   A.IANA-SERVERS.NET
ADD:     XN--G6W251D.                       NS   A.IANA-SERVERS.NET



Could someone please explain to me why they have allowed both traditional and simplified variants of the same word in the root when Verisign bans it within .com/net (presumably at ICANN's instruction)?

Chuck, care to shed some light?
