Here are my belated comments on ver0803

6	Quantity ambiguous in Title - "a global users"
20	Punycode in 3rd bullet ("xn----f38...") looks invalid
21	"Mixtures of LTR and RTL text in a single domain name is outside of the scope of this lesson."
24	"Fuzzy" should be mentioned in the glossary
27	The comments field provides a workable definition of "fuzzy", which could be used in slide 24 and glossary
29	Since we made an effort to establish "Downgrading with Aliasing" as a defined term last year, you might mention it in comments related to second bullet ("sometimes called downgrading, it's really just aliasing")
34	Downgrading could be mentioned here, even if it's to drive home the point that it is as much a fool's errand as the search for El Dorado 
35	define fuzzy matching

Clearly I have breached some unwritten rule about bidi so I've removed all mention of it.
