 Maybe in the furture, the following case will exist.
 One person who only registers the IDN, without registering the 
 (old) domain names. Then according to the suggestion above, it causes 
 the PTR record to be null. Is it alright? Is it necessary to be avoided?

 Furthermore, is it necessary to think about if "IDN only" (without 
 corresponding old domain name) exists, what will happen? 
 Maybe nothing will happen, maybe not.

 I have no idea on both of them right now.
