so far most registries have opted in except Verisign, which of course is why our .com's/.net's show punycode.
so, yes Mozilla your process sucks, but Verisign, pull your finger out - the buck stops with you.

Sorry, but your absolutely wrong on this. Mozilla is trying to get Verisign to comply with its policies, when the only body with authority to form policy in this area is ICANN. Verisign is right in totally ingoring them.
The main reason that dot com and dot net are blocked is that with them there will be little traffic, certainly nothing that Americans are concerned about. MS have developed an effective anti-phishing mechanism. Mozilla is like the emporer in his new clothes, but whilst dot com is shackled in this way they can claim to be stopping phishing. What they don't state is they are also stopping any traffic that matters.
