> Too many luminaries are going to defend the fact that we can have things like "poo emojis" in domain names. They don't care about the myriad of homograph/homoglyph attacks made possible by such an idiotic decision.

What's idiotic is to consider visual inspection of domain names a neccessary security feature.
