Hello, The .de NIC (denic.de) will implement IDNA2008 from 2010-11-16 onwards, especially allowing for ß (\u00df) in domain names. Hence, the automatic translation of ß to ss may result in looking up the wrong domain name, allowing for spoofing attacks. (DENIC will run a sunrise period (2010-10-26 to 2010-11-15) during which holders of domains with ss will be allowed top register the respective ß domain in advance.) http://www.denic.de/en/domains/internationalized-domain-names/sharp-s.html ß and ss are not exchangable in German. ss instead of ß is just a makeshift. Germans expect ß to usually just work if umlauts work (which already do for a while). Regards Michael

Yeah, this has been fixed for a while. There will likely be some further tweaks around Bidi, but that shouldn't impact .de NIC and is best tracked in a new bug once Unicode makes the relevant changes in UTS46 and the URL Standard adopts them.
