In most cases, the problems come from the similarities, not from spacing.

katakana 'ka' and chinese letter 'power(U+529B)' look the same.
Begali numeral '4'  and latin '8' looks the same.

What if japanese or korean customers send us with their IDN-email
addresses  and we don't know japanese and korean letters and theri
spacing sematics ?

Still I cannot distinguish between Bengali numerial '4' and latin '8'.

How can we prevent malicious attempts to 
forge similiarly-looking but different domains ?
