I > regularly use Savannah's web interface In a world where unicode is increasingly present and confusion about its characters increasingly problematic (typosquatting, etc.) wouldn=E2=80=99t = it be reasonable to expect unicode-related semantic functions to be provided in most frameworks, systems and languages to allow better handling of such problems, thus making that problem the interface=E2=80=99s one? Maybe if ever this problem occurs more and more in domain names, internet addresses, and such, interfaces such as web ones, or other editors, will inevitably need to support features to avoid confusion the same way emacs currently could?
