Isn't that true the IDN security issue we are now experienceing is also true for any other identy? (Like, IM id? can someone use "Bill G" + Greek a + "tes" in some IM communication to pretend he/she is the head of MS?) Shouldn't this be a identity security issue in the level of Unicode Standard, instead in the IDN level? in other words, we will have a mass if every place accept Unicode (as identiy, say user name) and render it properly as what we expect to see, if we don't start to work on some specification to prevent similar thing happen in other protocol/places.... Go back to the root, it is a cheating between the code point and the human visual recognization, and it could happen anywhere.
