Just so that nobody gets frightened and accuses Unicode of making
security problems for their script -- the above comment only means
that for all (of the millions of) websites example.com the owners of
example.com have the power to ensure that XXX.example.com is NOT
confusable with YYY.example.com. And the .com registry owners have the
same power to ensure that example.com is not confusable with
example2.com...
Now the question is, is there only one owner of .com? ICANN? Who?
If this entity chooses to enforce confusables (does it?) then
*wherever* a domain is registered it cannot be confusable with an
existing domain name? To be precise, if my old example of ಅರಗ.com is
registered in India, then అరగ.com cannot be registered *anywhere in
the world*?
Is that right? The above is what is desired to avoid phishing...
