Yet another thought about this: They (not sure who "they" is) will have to engage in something of an education campaign to non-Latin-speaking (ha ha) users to trust these domain names. If you're a Russian or Korean or Arabic speaker you're not used to seeing domain names in those languages. What is the user experience like for such users? Gadi, how do you switch between typing Hebrew and English and whatever else you type?

They've been wringing their hands about security for a few years now, around this very issue. Not saying they've gotten everything right, but I can't imagine the real testing work being done by the actual implementers (OS vendors) without the domains being officialized like this.
They have a test root servers that I know they've used to test DNSSEC and other such things. I assume they've been using them for this. How much testing can they really do in such an environment?
