I wasn't trying to jump into the CAPTCHA debate. That is another thread entirely, and I agree that any further discussion should be kept in that thread. I was only contrasting tedd's current suggestion regarding how browsers could handle his Unicode domain names where he suggested color-coding the URL in the address bar against his earlier (well thought out and presented) concerns about maintaining accessibility. In this case, I'm not even saying that tedd's basic concept -- altering the appearance to indicate a Unicode URL that could otherwise be confused with something similar -- is flawed. I'm just agreeing that the as identified by the browser vendors is valid. Combine that with the steps they've already taken to add icons and color code URLs for easy confirmation of a site's identity when using SSL, and it becomes more complicated -- especially when each has to compliment the others to prevent confusion while still remaining accessible. In that sense, they have already taken his idea and done something much simpler: they've simplified the character set. No additional colors, no extra icons to have to decipher, etc. Andrew -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
