I think on the protocol level, it is covered by

Implementors may proposal modification to DNS protocol [RFC1035] and
other related work undertaken by [DNSEXT] WG. However, these changes 
should be as minimal as possible and it must be approved by the DNSEXT
WG.

This will at least discourage the implementors not to go too far off to
redesign a new DNS protocol.

"Solution should be as simple as possible from the user persective that they
only aware that I18C are allowed without knowing IDN exists."
