Thanks Tina but I think we should aim for the future when the whois
will be 8-bits and can display the different scripts. But for now and
speaking as someone who works daily with trademarks I can assure you
that all the trademark owners will consider the name with and without
the xn-- "confusingly similar" since it is expected that it will be
abused to take advantage of famous trademarks.

Regards,

Charles
