That'll lead to one of two possibilities: 1) People use Unicode strings to represent domain names. Python's existing IDNA handling will happen; they're not doing their own. Not what you're talking about. Or: 2) People use byte strings to represent domain names. Any non-ASCII characters will simply cause an exception, if I'm not mistaken. Safe, but not as functional.
