RE: [Ecrit] Does IDN work for the DNS proposal



I’m sure it didn’t.  Of course, that would be a separate name (field).  If someone had access to that data, and could check that field independently for potential problems, that would be helpful.

Does this data include Apartment Numbers/Suite numbers as this is also critical in validation of location? High rises and apartment complexes for a given street address must be included when determining maximum characters required.

Michael Haberler did a quick pass of finding 8000 Vienna street names, turning them into IDN, and figuring out if they exceed the 64 character per-label limit of DNS.  He didn’t find any, but came real close (61). 

 

It would be very helpful if we did this test with as many areas as possible, especially in the usual-long-name-suspect’s cases. 

 

As I observed, if the incidence is low enough, a simple, consistently used abbreviation would work.  Even truncation may work well enough.
