No, except that:
1. Some people think it's a bad ideа to display characters from
different scripts side-by-side, because of the spoofing problem.
2. Not all browsers have been updated to whatever the latest version
is -- a situation that would be at least ten times worse if the entire
underlying structure of the Internet were changed as Meeku suggests.
