But since the TLD registry operators can, and do, control the delegation of their TLDs, they have de-facto control over the sets of labels that can be used for second-level domain labels that are publically visible within their TLD domains, unless you can persuade people to point at your nameserver other than through the normal delegation from the root. This means that they can, if they so wish, apply character set restrictions to those labels. Your TLD registry, for example, can and does enforce such a policy. (http://www.denic.de/en/richtlinien.html) On the other hand, there's nothing anyone can do to stop you resolving whatever labels you like on your own public nameservers, within your third-level, fourth-level and so on domains. However, this is unlikely to cause security problems for anyone apart from yourself and/or your customers. -- Neil -- Neil
