I have observed the following (what I believe to be) shortcoming in the functioning of the IDN standard(s) as applied to the Greek language. It appears that one can register a name in lower case Greek characters, and then still be able to go ahead and register the same name in capital letters separately. Of course, this also means that one can register mixed capital variations of a name as well. Methinks this is not something to be desired by potential IDN registrants in the non-ascii Greek language.
