Re: [idn] spoofing by combining diacritical marks



More self-comment:

  Current unicode standard have _no_  normalization rules on
    repeated <acute>s ( and other diacritical marks)  to prevent them from
    looking differently according to their positions in unicode strings.

  The second <Acute> in the <acute><Acute> does not display in some
  cases.

  This problem is somewhat out of IDN WG scope and should be reviewed
  by relevant  standard organizations.

  Zone masters should be aware of this and filter out  spoofing domains..
