Wil is correct.  We are deploying the German table this year.

Pat can correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that VGRS does 
NOT have a table associated with the German language. So, if you went 
ahead and register an IDN, and selected the German language, you can 
pretty much register any label that is permitted by IDNA, including 
characters that aren't remotely related to German.

Regsards,
