Hi all.
<div class="">I have mixed feelings about linkification but I believe that, if implemented, it should be done without second-guessing or restrictions to the form “*.TLD” - otherwise we take the risk of doing what SW programmer did in the past, and that is at
the root of the current UA problems, i.e. making assumptions based on the existing formats forgetting that new formats might be introduced as long as they comply with protocols.</div>
<div class="">Let me give an example. If I can type in a browser g-20.in, or G-20.in, or G-20.In, or G-20.IN, or more variations and still get to the same web site it would be wrong to introduce differentiation in linkification when those do not exist for the
browsers.</div>
<div class="">Moreover, the same considerations should apply to IDNs.</div>
<div class="">Cheers,</div>
<div class="">Roberto</div>

With Respect To the auto linkification:

<div class="">It seems to me that auto linkifying only a correctly formed lower case ASCII domain name would solve cases such as the G-20 example, below.</div>

</div>
<div class="">Actually the same auto linkifying principle could be applied to Cyrillic domain names and possibly other scripts that have case.</div>
