Agreed, and my apologies. It definitely comes across much more harshly in print than I intended. I was mostly just amused at the irony of you throwing out a possible solution to one problem that flies directly in the face of another thread that you have been discussing at the same time. > Second, I said highlighting mixed charset URL's in the color RED was an > example to illustrate that solutions can be found that are different than > showing PUNYCODE. It was not a solution I would endorse for red/green color > blindness or for blindness. There are other ways to handle that. There are indeed many ways to pare a feline. I was just pointing out that ONE of those ways is reduce the size of the available symbol set to eliminate similar or possibly misunderstood glyphs, and that seems to be what some browsers are doing. Obviously, it's not a method that you prefer given that it obscures the entire domain names you have, but it is still a valid option. Accessibility aside, it's already getting somewhat confusing to sort out the icons and colors used in address bars as it is. (In different versions and vendors I've seen backgrounds that include white and light yellow, green, and red; text that is bold and not bold, black, green, and red...) At least the lock icons are consistent, but now I am getting familiar with the different variations of the passport inspector in FF. > So, please cut me some slack. > > > Cheers, > > tedd Slack cut, take all you need.
