Domain Names in Indian Languages

Transliterating a Telugu word or phrase in English is challenging. Of late, I faced this problem when I tried registering a blog by the name abaddhaalu.blogspot.com

One of my guidelines was to register a name that would be easy to remember and at the same time be unambiguous so that users can type it right in the first go.
Abaddhaalu can also be written as abadhaalu, abaddhalu etc.
And that was the time when the idea of having Domain Names in local languages came to my mind. A wild guess that some organization like the w3c might already be working in this direction.

It would be interesting to see the challenges faced in this process.
Would love to have a domain in Telugu :)
