Description
At the ENS Workshop, Jim McDonald gave an excellent discussion on a variety of attacks that can be waged against the ENS, and how we can help address them.
One of those ways is an API he's set up for detecting a variety of homoglyph attacks, which he's sent to me, but rather than posting it here, I'm making it a note, to respect his api privacy for now.
This issue represents the intention to experiment with that API and see if we can do something useful with it, before exploring how to ramp it up to production readiness.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the ENS Workshop discussion and the proposed homoglyph-detection API, whose implementation details are intentionally not included here. Define a contained experiment and success criteria for assessing its usefulness before considering production readiness; no files or tests are named in the issue.
