We don't need to throw the baby out with the bathwater here. We can have non-English domain names without the security risks. We just need to do a better job of indicating to the user that a domain name is written using, say, kanji and not ascii. Full unicode support, I.E. allowing mixed character sets in a domain name, should be disallowed, however, as displaying to the user "the first character is kanji, the rest is ascii" is too cumbersome.
