How did a discussion about avoiding homograph spoofing turn into a 
suggestion that we only allow Latin characters?

That's entirely unreasonable. We've spent years working on things like 
IDN to internationalise the web; why reverse all that for fields in 
certificates? There are established methods of checking for homographs - 
e.g. the Unicode Consortium TR#36's list of confusables.
