@silmathoron @xpil it also reduces the usability and visibility of IDN websites to users with an "interface that uses roman alphabet".

Why *should* žvižgač.si be only shown as xn--viga-jua78dc.si/ to them? This effectively makes them less likely to click. In other words, it *punishes* websites for using IDN domains.

Not to mention, what does it even mean a "language interface that uses roman alphabet"? It's UTF/unicode mostly anyway.

And consider English words like "naïve".

@silmathoron @xpil not to mention, it's basically saying "let's protect the English speakers from such scams; we simply can't be bothered to care that these scams also affect speakers of other languages and uses of non-ASCII scripts".

Which is... very meh.

@Truck Sorry, but are you saying that ASCII-only DNS is wrong, or that @rysiek is wrong?

I'm saying not allowing people to use services in their own language and writing method is wrong.
