I guess... it was actually the other guy that made that comment... I'm not 
sure of the point of what verisign is doing... now if you send mail to a 
made up domain you actually get connected to one of their SMTP servers:

[dan at dam dan]$ telnet trilugrocks.com 25
Trying 64.94.110.11...
Connected to sitefinder-idn.verisign.com (64.94.110.11).
