Hello Don, others,

This is really great. One comment below.

I really like the second part here: "Robust linguistic policy Preventing identity theft.". Is the relevant information (e.g. what characters and combinations of characters are allowed or disallowed) available somewhere? If not, could it be made available somewhere?

It would definitely also be useful for other operators who want to set up email addresses in Indian languages. It could also be useful for domain names, although that might need additional checks.

One additional part that I'm somewhat worried about is what minority languages are covered. Minority languages often have additional needs, such as additional characters or additional character combinations.

Regards,   Martin.

P.S.: Please feel free to forward this mail and/or to cross-post me on further discussions.
