I have already implemented marking of non-ascii, non-IDN chars (it is
in the nXhtml repository currently).

To me it looks like IDN is the most important. Is not this a
derivative work from "confusables"?

Perhaps it is useful to implement "confusables" too. Do you have any
idea of what to mark there then? (And what would actually differ from
the IDN case?)
