I have been asked to speak about the potential confusion that IDNs  
could introduce if not properly constrained either by protocol or by  
registry restrictions.

It would be very helpful to have some real examples of potentially  
confuseable registrations in their original scripts (eg Chinese,  
Arabic, Urdu, Cyrillic, Greek, Indian scripts, etc).

if you have some examples, could you possibly send to me at  
Vint at google.com (not to the whole list).

thanks for tolerating a bit of spam.
