Well, the problem I see is that in the German language, those
characters are not at all common. We only use öäüÖÄÜß (Umlauts = aouAOU
with two dots above and "sharp s" looking quite like greek lowercase
"beta"), accented characters AFAIK can only occur in
(foreign-language-based) names and I didn't even know that some of the
characters like the "n with dot below" exist. Never seen that one...
However, I think I might have read something about automatic forced
mappings (i.e. something with "ß" in the name being automatically
mapped to the equivalent domain with "ss" instead of "ß") - no idea if
this applies to .de domains however. If the mentioned fake
"postbank.de" could only be mapped to the real postbank.de, the problem
would be non-existing.
