<P>More on delegation, focusing on DNS:-</P>
<P>When the domain name in a (non-HXRI) http OpenID is using either carrier, private or public ENUM address, two more delegation practices (for DNS and trusted DNS): <A href="http://www.ripe.net/rs/enum/update-delegation.html" target=_blank>http://www.ripe.net/rs/enum/update-delegation.html</A></P>
<P>There may be an additional question here: understand better the relationship between secure DNS's authority notions and those used to declare certain names authoritative aliases, in XRI.</P>
<P>------</P>
<P>Concerning delgation and then the topic how names may be "bearer protocol required" to be presented to users accessing rendered webapps:-</P>
<P>lets take a URL such as <A href="http://ÇÈ.ÊË.ÌÍ/ÎÏ/ÐÑ/ÒÓ?ÔÕ=ÖØ;ÙÚ=ÛÝ#Þß" target=_blank>http://ÇÈ.ÊË.ÌÍ/ÎÏ/ÐÑ/ÒÓ?ÔÕ=ÖØ;ÙÚ=ÛÝ#Þß</A> </P>
<P>Concerning how DNS/HTTP discovery durig OpenID my impact how the names shall be "presented to the user" (site tht are not URL-located data services like RDF or US Realty "RETS"), we have to consider canonicalization, vs logical vs visualization cases when addressing right-to-left scripts: <A href="http://www.w3.org/International/iri-edit/BidiExamples" target=_blank>http://www.w3.org/International/iri-edit/BidiExamples</A>.</P>
<P>Some end-user trials on the topic produced:</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<P>I had little luck putting IRI into my Google Apps DNS provider as domain name or URL redirects. The web part worked fine, but the internet stuff doesn't. I think is easy enough to just proxy over the Internet, these days, as xri.net proves.</P>
<P>In my X.509 cert, stored in my smartcard, the IRI stored nicely when I used the URI name form of the subject name extensions. These names to not invoke the SSL2-era's "CN" controls that bind SSL server certs to the Romanized DNS, obviously.</P>
<P>In Google's BlogSpot layout->HTML editor, the Bidi name are nicely handled and edited, even. It felt stange when a right arrow key had the cursor go left, tho! More examples of "Peter being so ignorant".</P>
<P>Handoff of such URLs to my SAML infrastructure have been essentially a miserable failure, so far. Im guessing dig sig canonicalization rules for such URL are either just not defined or are not coded (in the US sourced libraries). The web/XML part of my SAML2 server works just fine with such names. </P></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>------------</P>
<P>Anyone willing to do some non-Roman names/script trials with me, ideally with R2L scripts, URLs, domain name etc? I want to focus on using the script in the URLs/IRIs/XRIs. In our business @Rapattoni, we have luxury property listings to support that are sited in Jordan and needs to fit local custom. Some of the listings have linkable fields that are bound by religious rules concerning citation of religious words that are names; there is little reason why the web/IRIs should not accomodate these very human needs give OpenID is on track to give us the means to do it, in short order.</P>
