but can we?  
doesn't that become a topic if you allow the 
non-contention-set-of-generally-similar-gTLDs.

that is the issue of confusing similarity.

e.g  ella.com and אלה.קם  
how do we avoid confusion between them, assuming transliteration is part of the 
confusing similarity definition and thus the 
set-of-names-that-might-be-confusing-if-they-were-not-owned-by-the-same-registry,
 if they have different referents?

as i say, i am not looking for us to resolve or even discuss this here and now, 
i am just mentioning that it may need to be considered if we do open up the 
subject (kettle of fish?) of non-contention-set-of-generally-similar-gTLDs.
