* Dan Kaminsky:

Oh, come off it.  There are reasons to make changes to networks other
than security.  It's a genuine, non-corrupt reasonable demand that you
should be able to have your own language in DNS.

If it's only about language, it's not reasonable at all.  "com" isn't
English, "de" isn't German, "cat" probably isn't Catalan.  By that
reason, every ccTLD needs multiple additional TLDs (offical and
semi-official country name

(Poor FYROM.  There are '"'s in the country's official name, so it
can't be put into DNS even with IDNA.)
