The "rationale" section of this document explains very well why our
policy and technical implementation is as it is:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/tld-idn-policy-list.html
OK, reading the IDN policy I understand that registrars uses human, and
not technical, means to provide a chain of trust from the registry to
the application to the user.
That's about the same crap like this one:
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/advisory-10may02.htm
In particular:
"At its expense, Registrar shall provide an interactive web page and a
port 43 Whois service providing free public query-based access" and
"*Require* each registrant to submit (and keep updated) accurate contact
details"
Now I could give you scores of registrars which not only don't provide
WHOIS lookup service but also effectively and willingly prevent the
publishing of those details (WhoisGuard anybody?).
