    Smile IDNs for English domain names?

    The thought occurred to me that there might be a market for Europeans who often speak multiple languages for IDN domains (international domain names) which have the Spanish tilde. Or alternatively three-letter domains with maybe one letter having a tilde. The problem would be that most English speakers wouldn't know how to type these letters and they are technically misspelled words. Some web browsers can't view these web sites. Such domains would clearly be worth far less than their correctly-spelled counterpart but I was just curious what others thought. I'll give a few examples:

    cómputers.com
    héalth.com
    trável.com
    aeÃ*.com
    clothiñg.com

    clothiñg.com
    These are professional phishing domains

    Also, just cause you add a tilde doesn't mean it's a langauge in european ;-)
