Hi

My problem with your re-write is that it presupposes that translation is a 
primary cause for 'confusingly similar'  and as I and others have argued, this 
is not universally accepted (though I do accept meaning as a possible 
complicating factor in an objection, I am not sure others even go that far).


If we are going to include examples we should include example of 'beneficial 
similarity'  based on the lowest common denominator condition of visual 
similarity with which we all agree.  Something with the variation in Chinese or 
simplified or perhaps something even from LDH/extended ASCII (.aero/.æro), or 
even a cyrillic/LDH example (.сом/.com)
