lp:trademark_name field

Hi all,

I had a look at the draft and thought about some experiences we had with
launch phases. A question regarding the lp:trademark_name field appeared.

Some registries do not allow Unicode characters to appear in data
fields, they require US-ASCII.

If you have a German trademark, for instance "Büro" (the German word for
"office"), the common question on launch phases is how to pass this.

With the EPP contact object, you have an attribute "type" defined for
the contact:postalInfo with the values int or loc to handle this issue
(perhaps only one is supported, but then it's clear if I need to pass
US-ASCII or Unicode).

I know that there might be a policy for validating and rewriting
trademark names (e.g. "?" may be omitted). But I think it would be nice
to have something like this "type" attribute for the trademark name in
the draft. If there is no attribute for this, I'd suggest to include a
hint to care about Unicode characters in trademark names.

In my opinion this would increase chances to prevent problems with
Unicode trademark names.



Kind regards,
