RE: [idn] Internet Draft uname.txt

["Brian W. Spolarich" <briansp@walid.com>]

  In the draft the authors state:

c.	It might be possible to construct a binary string in some legacy 
encoding which gives the same binary representation for another domain 
name (a.k.a. binary collision).

  This is a big problem in my mind.  Sending unidentified codepage data
could create all sorts of opportunities for spoofing, and more mundane
problems like DNS caches giving out the wrong answer.
