Ted:

Thanks for the improved text.  Here it is all put together:

When strings are mapped from internal representations to visual
representations, sometimes two different strings will have the
same or similar visual representations. This can happen for many
different reasons, including use of similar glyphs and use of
composed characters (such as e + ' equaling U+00E9, the Korean
composed characters, and vowels above consonant clusters in
certain languages).  As a result of this situation, people doing
visual comparisons between two different names may think they
are the same when in fact they are not.  Also, people may mistake
one string for another.  Issuers of certificates and relying
parties both need to be aware of this situation.

This does not impose any untestable requirements.  Any concerns with this
text?
