Some people might want to register mixed script URLs though. Take a look at
http://www.numerica.biz . They use a (shrunk) capital sigma instead of an e
in their logo.
The text processing system TeX uses greek letters in its name, but very few
web pages spell it using them.
Might some companies want to put foreign words into URLs to make them look exotic?
