<p>Thank you! I had not known about the IANA IDN tables, and they are fascinating reading.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In particular, it provides a concrete way of talking about registry policies that affect phishing attacks through confusables, as discussed in our "Another difficulty to overcome ..." thread a few days ago.<o:p></o:p></p>
