That's all fine and good. My problem is how do I personally send somethng
to one of those domains with the international character in it's name
when I am using a standard keyboard without the international characters?
I think we have to stay with the lowest common denominator until we all
have keyboards with the full international character set on them.
And I know about cutting and pasting, or pop-up windows with the extra
characters, but those are not acceptable solutions. Until there is a
key with that character on it, it can't be a standard.
