Yesterday, I started a new Web site to collect nameprep issues, and now 
I'm thinking that it might also be a good place to collect info about 
dangerous homographs. Implementors could look here for guidance.

I stress that this site is unofficial. I am merely offering a place for 
us to collect info and present it to others. The mailing list archive is 
a daunting and unorganized place to look for such info.

Please send any additions, comments, etc to me or to the mailing list. I 
promise to be open about it, but if that turns out to be a problem, 
maybe I or someone can start a Wiki instead.
