RE: [idn] Why we can go directly to UTF-8

[Brian W. Spolarich]

| Now look, seriously, there is *no* *freakin* *way* that we can go to

  The 'just send UTF-8' approach also ignores the normalization issues
addressed by nameprep, unless you think, as Bill Semich has suggested,
that a protocol based on nameprep only somehow makes sense and is 
actually deployable.
