James will know - let's ask him.

But from what i have seen, it's irrelevant weither the registry supports
RACE, that's irrelevant - if a chinese, japanese or korean name (character
string) is encoded correctly - you simply stick that string in a zone file
and it will work.

Unless someone is doing some fancy dns work I have yet to read in the
techs - it's quite irrelvant what registry you do this with - as long as
you follow the convention "bq--" plus whatever is a correctly encoded
RACE, the browser should work. I can't however comment on the browser
side - what sort of browser is required (if any). But the correct
encoding is the key - the registry's position on it is not even a
consideration - as long as you register the correctly encoded string.

James - correct or incorrect. What are we missing here?
