Phil said: > Does anyone else think that it's not the job of a web browser to do this? Yes, it's recognized by Mozilla and others as the job of the Internet Architecture Board (in particular, the IAB-IDN group) to make a final decision on how to deal with homographs. However, for early adopters like Mozilla with a released software package that supports IDNs, they are taking an intermediate action until the committee comes up with a guideline. I think you're both right -- most applications can't feasibly manage their own Unicode Philosophy, but Mozilla needs to do something for the short term. -Jason -- Jason Sloderbeck Positive Networks jason @ positivenetworks . net
