I'd like to bring up an earlier I-D Afilias submitted to the IETF six years
ago:

    http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sienkiewicz-epp-idn-00

This draft was flawed in that it required the script be specified with the
<check> command, but it did have one nice feature.

During creation, rather than what you propose:

  <idn:language xmlns:idn="urn:iana:xml:ns:idn-1.0">de</idn:language>

You'd do this:

  <idn:create xmlns:idn="urn:iana:xml:ns:idn-1.0">
    <idn:script>de</idn:script>
  </idn:create>

This has the (potential, though unrealised) advantage of allowing multiple
languages to be specified, although the choice of <script> rather than
<language> as an element was suspect.

I'd propose that the draft be amended to have a <create> element as shown
above for IDN creation and and <infData> element for responses. Thus, the
an IDN extension for creating a domain valid in both Norwegian and Danish
would look like this:

  <idn:create xmlns:idn="urn:iana:xml:ns:idn-1.0">
    <idn:language>da</idn:language>
    <idn:language>no</idn:language>
  </idn:create>

Other than that, I'm quite positive about this I-D.
