Spoofing and spammers could pose potential problems in the future for many IDNs.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if some computer security software in the future included an option to filter/convert IDNs back to their encoded ascii characters.

And I hate to think of the UDRP mess if and when IDNs become more widely used ... will the IDN or the underlying ascii characters have priority? That's really a matter for the legal forum, but I digress.
