I agree that this can be part of the counter-measures to this security
problem.  I encourage application writers to implement that approach,
by using an API that is part of libidn:

Alas, some ccTLDs doesn't appear to understand the problem.  Perhaps
we can raise awareness of the problem with them.  Then maybe ccTLDs
will publish lists of permitted code points under an acceptable
license.

Thanks,
Simon
