Thanks for forwarding this!
The "ICANN CAN'T" box accompanies a longer article
about IDNS security risks. 
(http://www.sciam.com/2002/0602issue/0602scicit5.html)

Lauren Weinstein from PFIR says that a regulatory 
approach will be necessary to prohibit confusing names
(e.g. homograph names, like microsoft.com incorporating
Cyrillic "c" and "o") based on the UDRP. "But it will 
require proactive policing on the part of the registrars, 
such as VeriSign, something they have typically resisted."
