unicode domains displayed as punycode
 
hello.

I have just registered (still awaiting confirmation but...) for two equivalent domains names: one traditional Chinese, and one simplified Chinese.

I just tested OW. it faithfully translated the chinese into punycode but... here's the confusion. shouldn't the address field continue to display the unicode as entered rather than as punycode?

[url]www.河國榮.hk[/url] looks very different to [url]www.xn--9csq74bhgc.hk[/url]

it may cause confusion for some users, and may even have users wondering if their browser is infected, or if the domain name is a (what's that name when one fraud site is made to look like another authentic site?).

regards,
Gregory

It is known as a "phishing" site.
