I agree, in general. Allowing the ROOK chess symbol is not likely to cause
any problem.
However, doing a full sweep for confusability is a bit daunting; look at all
the characters on idn-chars.html (you are welcome to start now ;-). So
people are proposing at least as an interim step, to reduce the likelyhood
of problems by excluding non-required characters.
