Gee, so you think the "۔" is out of game ?
What would they do with all the names with "۔" ?
I mean if "-" becomes the official separator and is rendered into " ", then "۔" could be considered as "phishing" and they need to do something about this don't you think ?
Damit there are tons of hyphen ... it is really confusing

"-"
and
"ـ"
and
"۔"

the first is english hyphen,
the second is arabic hyphen which is normally used to extend the letters with exception of some letters

the third is what you mentioned and I don't know how to type it

although arabic hyphen may not be easily recognised for the first look at the name ... it will not lead to typo mistakes

phishing is an old trick and it is going to be obselete with more education of people about internet... so I don't see phishing a big problem

Cybersquatting will remain more hazardous problem than phishing

People always mention http://www.xn--pypal-4ve.com phishing paypal

this domain cann't be typed in .... you have to be so naive and click links in email which most people are aware of nowadays

at the end , I think nothing will be changed
