Ted:
Thanks for the improved text. Here it is all put together:
When strings are mapped from internal representations to
visual representations, sometimes two different strings will
have the same or similar visual representations. This can
happen for many different reasons, including use of similar
glyphs and use of composed characters (such as e + ' equaling
U+00E9, the Korean composed characters, and vowels above
consonant clusters in certain languages). As a result of
this situation, people doing visual comparisons between two
different names may think they are the same when in fact they
are not. Also, people may mistake one string for another.
Issuers of certificates and relying parties both need to be
aware of this situation.
This does not impose any untestable requirements. Any
concerns with this text?
