Hi,
There is also an interesting legal problem lurking with
http://www.deja.fr/ and http://www.bq--aduwvya.fr/
A court might find me guilty of trademark violation of "deja" with the
first URL, but I can't see them upholding the same for "bq--aduwvya"

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.
