Indeed. However, I am somewhat disheartened that this could
happen. IMO, Verisign should have never have registered that
domain - the registrar should have provided a language for
the label, that language should have been "Russian" (or
else &1072; should not have been allowed), and this combination
of Cyrillic and Latin letters should not be allowed for the
Russian language.
