Well, when I wrote that, I was more thinking about the protocol.
And I meant that people shouldn't see a difference between
ASCII dns and idns, either on the protocol level or on the
user level. Of course people will get aware of the fact that
they can use i18n domain names, or at least we hope they will.
Also, I don't think this should be a 'must'. Maybe we don't
get there completely. So just in case, make it a 'should'.
