Hi all.
<div>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>Let me give an example. If I can type in a browser <a href="http://g-20.in" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">g-20.in</a>, or G-20.in, or G-20.In, or <a href="http://G-20.IN" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">G-20.IN</a>, 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>Moreover, the same considerations should apply to IDNs.</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>Roberto</div>

With Respect To the auto linkification:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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><br>
</div>
<div>Actually the same auto linkifying principle could be applied to Cyrillic domain names and possibly other scripts that have case.</div>
