[alac] [Fwd: [ga] potential IDN issue with Greek language]

[Vittorio Bertola <vb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This (if confirmed) is exactly one of the points we were making in our 
draft IDN statement, as a consequence of the lack of proper equivalence 
tables...

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.
