Re: [opensuse] Internet domain names with international characters (idn)

Another curiosity is that the whois for .com do support IDN, but others,
like .cl or .es, do not - and they should, as they are interested parties

Also interesting and perhaps relevant is that cl is listed as a good guy
on: <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/tld-idn-policy-list.html>

Sadly com is not. Neither is es

So if I read the implications correctly, you may be able to register
spoof domains on .com and the whois will spoof you as well. You can't
register spoof domains on .cl and the whois is completely unambiguous
but a pain unless/until they upgrade their whois. Not sure what the
position of .es is?
