Just to be perfectly clear:  If we adopt IDNA, then telnet/ssh etc.
have to be upgraded to be IDNA *friendly*, but they are already IDNA
*compatible*.  While people are waiting for those upgrades, they are not
completely out of luck.  They can do something like:

telnet `ace NATIVECHARACTERS`

where ace is a single program that can be used in this way with telnet,
ssh, ftp, finger, etc.
