IDNA 2008 Question Re: "Confusable" Characters In Domain Names

2010-10-22 05:33:47

Dear List Members,I am a little unclear what impact the IDNA 2008 policy will 
have ondomain name registrant's who have a domain that does not fall underthe 
policy's permissible code-points, particularly symbol-based domainnames.The 
page http://icann.org/en/topics/idn/fast-track/idna-protocol-2003.txtclearly 
explains what codes are permissible, but what in practice, will itmean if 
someone types in e.g. €.com in their browser under IDNA 2008?
Will IDNA 2008 not allow the domain registrant to satisfy a user's queryby 
forwarding them on to a different domain name?I'm curious to know how such 
domain names have been disabled, andprevented them from being shown/resolving.I 
will hope to hear any replies on this matter.Regards,
John Daw
