I suppose we're stuck with UTS46 for IDNs in URLs for now, but as we are 
seeing there are places where UTS46 does the wrong thing, so there are 
places we can fix at the front end.

After all, if the input is preprocssed into valid U-labels and dots, UTS46 
nontransitional shouldn't make things any worse.
