> One could implement variant domain names as attributes of the primary domain name achieved through the use of object extensions preserving the domain object mapping. Underneath the registry object can still be a bundle having a canonical form, primary domain name, registrant contact etc and a list of (activated) variant domain names. We did consider the notion of adding an EPP bundle mapping object, but as mentioned by Andrew, the complexity and effort required for that option was not negligible. As for variants being attributes of domain object, that would cause an issue if we wish to allow registrars to manage DNS on each variant independently. > Treating all names as individual yet linked domain names does not make much sense for both registry and registrar if the variant model is "you can have this variant on the condition that it is identical to the primary name". While I agree conceptually that there is something unnatural about the administrative link, I do second Andrew's point that this could be viewed as registry policy. I think the important part here is to make sure that registrars can get information regarding availability of a variant as well as the other variants of particular domain in a bundle.

But of course, they're _not_ identical. They're different names, and in Latin they might not even be labels that anyone would ever actually use (at least on purpose without fraudulent intent).
