Ok, I think I have to write things more clearly (or I didn't understand your
objection).
"All equivalent variants of a given domain name should be sold and
registered in bundle" means that if (and I stress "if", since equivalences
are still to be defined) you have a standard agreed table that says that
"ss" and "ß" (sz ligature, aka "german beta") are two equivalent strings in
the IDN world, then you should not be allowed to register "strasse.com" and
"straße.com" separately - when you buy one, you should get the other one
too. And the same applies to "strasse.net" and "straße.net" - but separately
from the .com ones.
I was absolutely not saying that "straße.com" and "straße.net" should be
bundled or even go to the same registrant - I don't see any reason for that.
Did I clarify my idea? Or did I get your objection wrong?
