[UA-discuss] Is there anywhere that lists the number of IDNs registered? Or names registered in IDN TLDs? cc & g?

but while you could make "Fußbodenschleifmaschinenverleih" (an oft 
photographed name on a store front) an IDN, or even a TLD, it would 
still be silly to do so.

A long word like that is still cumbersome - at some point it becomes 
silly to try to access it by typing - when that occurs, the name no 
longer need to be descriptive and complete, because you will access it 
via search.

In my example, the full name of the business would include the location 
or the owners name (or the form of business) to be unique, so now you 
have a non-unique but cumbersome handle.

Perhaps there is a reason why
46
	.vermögensberater(financial adviser) 	
	
47 	.vermögensberatung(financial advice)


were the only Latin-based IDN TLDs at all in the first round.
