new .DE with special characters, registrations overwhelming

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/36036.html

Since Monday over 600,000 domains with special characters in them (umlauts) have been registered at DENIC since they started allowing them. Normally DENIC only gets a few thousand regular registrations per day.

Before you rush off to register some of these, note that most browsers and email programs can't understand such domains without special plugins. Almost as bad as new.net but still a bit more legit.
