A lot of money wasted for an almost useless result. Did ICANN tested
anything before introducing ".cat" or ".museum"? For the standard (RFC
3490), IDN are, in the DNS, perfectly ordinary domain names and there
is no reason they behave differently.

One can wonder why ICANN performed these tests. To make believe that
IDN are a dangerous and questionable thing?
