Does anyone else think that it's not the job of a web browser to do this? The web browser shouldn't even know about IDN details. The system's resolver library should convert non ASCII labels to the Punycode representation when sending querries, and convert back after receiving responses! Otherwise how can all my applications support IDN? -Phil
