Then I read a blogpost by Joi Ito when he was involved with IANA (?) and they were having discussions about other language support in domain names, and it hit me: there are foreign languages on the internet aswell..

domain names support foreign charsets since long time an it is a never 
ending security nightmare. Personally I make sure to disable any kind
of international domain name support in web browsers.
With the variety of fonts installed on an average system enough people
fall to traps like one-small latin l or small latin oh-zero similarities.
