Well, the registry could use your algorithm, slightly modified. If we
can subdivide a label using hyphens, let's call the subdivisions
"sublabels". The registry would have a piece of software in place that
checks to see whether any sublabel consists entirely of homographs. If
there is such a sublabel, the software could either reject the
registration or send an email to the administrator to have them manually
check the label later.
