Maybe a naive idea: Let's assume that the list of Unicode characters
with similar shapes is already available. Let's further assume that a
user wants to access a site which contains such characters. Isn't it
possible that the browser tests in the background all combinations,
sending a warning to the user that there are similar URLs which
resemble the original URL optically if viewed with certain fonts? So
if someone selects f<omicron><omicron>.org, the browser also tries to
access foo.org, probably using some additional constraints (like
scripts grouped by `-' or `.') to limit the number of possible hits.
