Can somebody who really knows the DNS details please answer this:

Assume somebody registers SSSS as a domain with name servers,...
and registers TTTT CNAME SSSS, why would that not guarantee that
everybody looking for foo.SSSS and for foo.TTTT would get to
the same machine(s)?

No. What I'm assuming is that s/he registers two forms, an
all-simplified
and an all-traditional form. That's the customer's responsibility.
The rules I mentioned in my answer to your point 1), if applied, then
would guarantee that nobody else can register a name that is a mixture
of simplified and traditional characters of the already registered
names.

Registering a lot of domain names won't satisfy anybody. But
registering two domain names should not be too bad, I think.
