Adam,
The IETF generally only specifies the "wire" protocol, not UI behavior. The IETF does not specify how apps interface with users; it only specifies how apps interface with other apps, over the wire. Note that this does not even include APIs in many cases.


However, it *would* be very wise to *warn* implementors about any dangerous homographs in the new RFC (if we decide not to ban them outright).

Yes. But this does not prevent to warn in proposing solutions to the system conceptual problems, like for tables. The same for TLD Managers.
