That's how I read Mark's statement. The problem statement here focuses on 1 character when rnicrosoft.com (in ASCII) can achieve similar effect. Or microsoft.unsafe.com or trustme.com/microsoft - or just ignoring what the link says, or my bank sending me stuff that takes me to a abcprocessing.com site, which trains me that legitimate stuff can go to a 3rd party site.
