There is a lot of IDN fun to be had with several competing - and
incompatible - technologies, each pushed by rival providers so that
there is practically no incentive to interoperate.

Some amusingly planted puff pieces, and other clumsy attempts at PR as
well .. http://www.circleid.com/article/1074_0_1_0_C/ for example

Ignore them and they'll either go the hell away or spend some time
fighting against each other and kill each other off.  And the public
root people can continue using their intranet domains I guess.
