You have implemted your version of "idn" in the se.nu. zone. As far as I
understand, you see that as an experiment. Could you make that zone
available for zone transfer or some other way so we can see how your
implementation looks like? When I try to resolv SödraKärr.se.nu I get
NXDOMAIN. Before I got a domain with high octetts.
