Ask HN: What are the values of IDN domains?

[duinote]

What do you think about the future of IDN domains? do you think it has the values of non-unicode domain that helps in branding? will they have the same values and importance like plain text domains? I want to hear what you think.thanks.

I think they are going to create new branding opportunities but it will limited traditional marketing methods where urls needed to be typed.

I agree. I seldom type in my native language, and not to mention that I have to type it in for an URL. So I am doubting the values. On the other hand, if UID is more user friendly and next gen net users are more used to native surfing, the value may be bigger.
