This is pointless because internationalized domain names are standardized around Punycode encoding (Unicode<->ASCII), and said standard is supported by applications that support IDN queries. I am firmly against this change, and I'm not particularly thrilled by the thought of homograph attacks either. > Given appropriate prop-279 changes, I won’t need to draw a proposal. > I’ll simply write code! It's worth keeping in mind that no one to my knowledge has implemented prop 279 in the tor code itself, though there is (IIRC) a python kludge that kind of allows development.
