C'man, surely you would not mistake these as anything but IDNs, especially if you are in the domain business?
пол.com
جنس .com
性.com
секс.com
מין .com
kjønn.com
Point is, IDNs are not really meant for "you and I", they are for the 80% of the world that does NOT speak any English. Did you ever wonder why so many Chinese websites are "numericals". That's because most don't speak English, or recognize most latin alphabet. Remembering numbers turned out to be the interum solution for many Chinese websites. Now...they can have Chinese symbols for idn.com, idn.net, idn.cn, idn.tv, and idn.idn.

Good luck getting anything during the idn.idn landrush.
Not 100% sure... but for some idn.idn sunrise you may need to be a "citizen" , or have a business, and legitimate address in that country.
