You might want to take at look at:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idn-ace-report-00.txt
a summary recommendation report that was just announced.
"This document is a summary of the work of the ACE design team of the
Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) Working Group. If the IDN WG selects
a single ACE, the design team suggests DUDE."
