Thanks Paul, Evidently, indeed. If one registers a name it must be protected in any code, ascii, ansi, utf ...
Remains the problem of a man-in-the-middel and self generated certificates with legitimate server names, given the rise of free ssl certificates this may be a legitimate concern. It also suggests the creation and validation of certificates on the client side must be extended to registrars of domain names etc. to warrant safe usage. I've not really put much thought in it since i'm not in a position to make a difference anyway.

Mixing a Cyrillic "c" in a latin alphabet will very hard for humans to distinguish from a Latin "c", so this must be disallowed, or at the very least end up at the same Registrant. For domain bundling, see https://cira.ca/assets/Documents/Legal/IDN/faq.pdf It means that since I have registered "nohat.ca", no one but me can register "nohâts.ca". These names come in a "bundle" to the same Registrant only. Paul
