At a very simplistic level, what would work for me would be an option that I can enable that causes IDN to be highlighted somehow (perhaps inverse video in the status bar, perhaps alternating the two representations?). Personally, I can read the Roman alphabet, accented or not, whether it be English, German or whatever (I may not understand the language I am reading though, but I can interpret the characters I see). I can't read chinese, cryllic, arabic or any other non-latin script. So, for me, an option to highlight non-latin IDN URLs would be a start because I would have no interest in following such links. I realise that won't be a solution for many people but I guess it would cover the majority of the people who would be the target of such a spoofing scheme (i.e. those who primarily use the latin alphabet / ascii character set). I don't know how this stuff works so I'll butt out now, glad to see it's being tracked as an issue on Github. John
