Otherwise how can all my applications support IDN?
Please read RFC 3490.
Thanks for the pointer. It seems like a lot of work to do and much opportunity for it to be done inconsistently from application to application. This shim layer will have to be inserted into every application from ping on up. But it looks like there's a library ( http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/ ) that is quite popular, so there is hope for a single point of management where such things as this Mozilla whitelist need to be updated. The less headaches there are with support cases where users can't see decoded IDNs when they should or can see decoded IDNs when it might be dangerous, due to out of date whitelists, the better. -Phil
