Just to be perfectly clear: If we adopt IDNA, then telnet/ssh etc.
have to be upgraded to be IDNA *friendly*, but they are already IDNA
*compatible*. While people are waiting for those upgrades, they are not
completely out of luck. They can do something like:
telnet `ace NATIVECHARACTERS`
where ace is a single program that can be used in this way with telnet,
ssh, ftp, finger, etc.
