| you are wrong IDNs wont do well in latin languages countries
i dont know when it will happen but they will do well... for me IDN owners' have to wait at least 10 years
i am and live in a latin language country (brazil) and people really dont know what an IDN is (i am not talking about meaning of IDN but its use) and the problem is people is used to type in without accents but when IDNs be known it can be easily changed and this loss of traffic you told about wont happen
and theres promotion of the site, SEO, eetc...
an example
"maca" is hospital bed in portuguese and "maçã" is apple, so maca's owner has a word totally different from "maçã" but today maca.com can be used for both
if IDN is known i think people will type both names (the one with accent and the other without it) to find which is the best for them
theres a problem for those who dont know abouut accents
these people think every single name have an accent is an IDN when actually is an IDN typo, just like typoes we have here
an example
"avião" means plane, "aviões" means planes; these are the correct spelling
if someone reg "avíão", "ãviao", "aviaõ" they are wrong, they are IDN typoes
thats why sometimes it is confusing for those who dont know accents
