There are very few issues wrt IP that are not already present with ASCII 
names; consider the conflict over the Spanish-language site that mirrored 
the name of an English-language site, the conflict over micros0ft.com, the 
conflict between tata (india) and bodacious-tatas.com, and so on.

Just about the only thing I can think of that is added is that it can be 
hard to find panelists who can actually read the characters of the domain 
name; the IP rights do not change.

IMHO, of course.
