No mistake here: The 63-octet limitation only applies when generating a

sense to count DNS octets in a ToUnicode result.
The test file has the appropriate error code for the ToASCII result, and the
normal string result for ToUnicode.
Yes indeed. For some actual examples of very long URIs (which actualy
resolve), see tests 121 (single long label) and 122 at
http://www.w3.org/2004/04/uri-rel-test.html.
Also, for a discussion of potential length limits in IDNAbis on Unicode
strings (which, for many good reasons, were ultimately rejected), please
see the discussion around
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-iri/2009Sep/0064.html.
