This is an excellent point.  We need to keep reminding ourselves that
the problem goes beyond just DNS.  If I receive mail addressed to me and
various other people with IDN addresses, what goes in the To: field?
Will today's version of the sender's software handle that?  And will
today's version of my software allow me to reply to everyone?
