The policy is published:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/tld-idn-policy-list.html
Any lack of detail is due to a desire to have maximum flexibility to 
incorporate the requirements and constraints of different registries, 
not a desire to be vague.

Well, it's on the website. But if you mean it should be brought to the 
attention of users, I strongly disagree.

You'll have to expand "TBT" for me. But I somehow doubt that the WIPO is 
going to start infering with Firefox's security decisions.

Again, I entirely disagree. Insecure-by-default and highly-configurable 
are two anti-goals for Firefox.

By IDNccTLD, do you mean ccTLDs using IDN? We support the test URLs in 
Firefox 3 betas.

I'm afraid I've never heard of the "Fast T/Crack ICANN" project.
