Keith found the same problem when he pointed out one of the 
advantages with the IDNRA proposals (from my point of view) and that 
is that the ACE encoded domainname is not only sent from the resolver 
in the DNS packages, but also used by the applications in the 
protocols. That means that an application have to be able to do 
nameprepping.

I am thinking about how to describe this.
