[cap-talk] Firefox breaks the principle of identifiability

[Karp, Alan H]

Unicode domain names are useful for people who speak languages that need
the extended character sets.  What's of less use is a domain name with
characters from different languages.  A partial solution would be to
have a default language encoding and flag characters that come from a
different one.  It's only a partial solution because there may be
legitimate reasons to mix languages in a domain name, but at least
there's a warning.
