from a purely mechanical point of view, if the character encoding
of these two strings makes them distinct, one might have to treat
them as distinct registrations - unless a very mechanical means of
converting them both into some canonical form were available to
make them "match" - one would imagine that such canonicalization
process might require language-specific knowledge and that sounds
pretty challenging.

In the proposed regime, its not obvious what to do from a purely consumer

Depends on who is the consumer... to the French the difference here is
completely obvious... and this whole problem is just "another Anglo-Saxon
plot" etc...
Verisigns view would be each is completely unique. ICANN's
dispute resolution would say there completely identifical and one has to go!
But ICANN's resolution makes this problem appear in the first place.
