I Love IDN's

What a Great time to be a domainer !

And judging from the graph listed above, we can expect this traffic to increase by 400% or so over the next year.

You What you are actually looking at is the leading edge of an S curve. That curve will climb steeply and power up nearly vertically for a while before tailing off. It is not easy to estimate how high this bird will fly but it will be a hell of lot more than 4x. I would think 1000x would be a better estimate!

It's always good to be an optimist

Well my statistical observations give me about 20% increase - it's pageviews a month for Cyrillic IDNs. It doesn't have to be all the time, but should be about 10x increase a year - this is just an extrapolation

I wish Rubber Duck's number be true

10x per year, but at what point does it level off?

Also, I think this 10x figure may assume steady technology without breakthroughs. IDN-compatible browsers and awareness will cause a sharp increase (hence, the S-curve) and growth in internet penetration will accelerate that curve. At some point, it will level off as internet penetration growth stagnates and IDN-awareness becomes commonplace.

I won't say 100x or 1000x. I will say that I have no idea. But, I do believe that it will jump sharply in 2008 and 2009.

the majority are uncommon IDNs
but the last 2 aren't IDNs

They are when they are mixed script domains that are only good for phishing.
