Nonsense. The average user will just click "OK" whatever warning anyone puts up. That's why browsers are failing to load more and more troublesome pages with TLS problems and so on. The good news, of course, is that probably browsers will do that for IDNs as well, especially where the registry doesn't publish parsable policies. The bad news is that we're at least 5 years late :) A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@anvilwalrusden.com
