IDNA and security



People are filing security bugs because of the homograph issue.  But
is this a real security problem?  Do you think we should change our
fonts so that 1, l and I (and O and 0, of course) are more different
visually?

IMHO, the whole underlying idea that you can use a name to tell if a
site is trustworthy is flawed.  The net just doesn't work this way.
