Thanks, but what would the difference be to try confusable detection
instead of chars outside IDN?
I believe marking confusable chars would also mean marking those
confusable chars that have been decided on in IDN.
Perhaps they could also be handled in another way (for example helping
switching/rotating the confusable chars, all or one-by-one). Would
that be useful?
