Default Mixed Characters request to Microsoft

As you know, ie7 doesn't support £.com or €.com showing them as punnycode.

Safari and Opera have no problems because they don't care about the language script encoding. € and £ are on the "Zyyy" (Common)... that's were the problem is. http://www.unicode.org/Public/4.1.0/ucd/Scripts.txt

My question to Microsoft was:
Would the ie team ever open exceptions on the unicode definitions due to certain languages specific encoding issues (maintaining the phising barrier, of course)?

And their answer:
It's possible that certain characters will be permitted to mix in a future release of IE. This depends on a variety of factors, including future standards, the phishing environment, and the user-scenarios that such a change would enable.

Thus, I have created this thread. Use it to post what characters and why you think should be accepted.

Anything that doesn't cause confusion - any thing other than certain Roman<->Cyrillic/Greek combinations?
