Their IDNs should be U-labels, not random text that looks sort of like

<p>In a recent discussion someone put it that labels should be valid
IDN U labels once they are "in the system". Now, when you make a
DNS lookup the label you submit is "in the system". When it's on
the side of a bus, to use the other extreme, it's not. Now, where
do you draw the line for where "the system" starts? I don't think
you can include all HTML documents or HTML mail message or any
other place a URL can and does exist today.</p>
