Okay, wrong forum then. You should bring this to ICANN/DNSO/ccSO on
this, not IDN WG.

But, the real problem lies in the increased number of such ambiguities.
For LDH domains, we need to know about only 'O','o','1','l' .
But for IDN, almost _ALL_ of 'a' ~ 'z' have their look-alike characters
in
greek,cyrillic and cherokee script. Seeing them printed  on papers,
most people can't know whether they are LDH domains or IDN ones.

ICANN/DNSO/ccSO should make some recommendations/enforcement
on IDN registration and dispute resolution policies
before IDN's being deployed and owned.
