This is a horrendous idea.

What's to say, 0 and o can be mixed up and ban that too? How would you handle gray areas? Determining what's fishy and what's not is not a matter of black and white. What if you have a German name and want to set up a site in India with ö.in? This idea creates more problems than it solves.

Policing/banning is never a good idea. Internet freedom is way more important than phishing attemps.

Let's ban everything because anything can be phished if you're smart enough.
