Agreed. It is impossible to require e.g. from average
Koreans or Japanese to be able to use Arabic domain names,
exactly the same way it is impossible to ask them to
read an Arabic newspaper or an Arabic email or web page.

ACE is a very bad fallback for all these purposes.
Ideally, every person should at least have one purely
ASCII-only email address, and every machine should have
at least one purely ASCII-only domain name, not consisting
of characters that look like they come from a random generator.
