Yes, a lot of people worry about that. At the moment you can only represent dot com in ASCII characters but ICANN are in the process of introducing multichannel Aliasing. This will probably be done at the Root using the Verisign DName Proposals which are going to be testbedded in July. There is an alternative possibility of putting a whole load of IDN extension directly into the Root, but I don't personally think that is a runner.
Chinese already put in dot com in ASCII. They start in Chinese and end in Chinese to doing this for IDN is certainly no more of an inconvience that doing it for ASCII!
