Have you even read the spec you whip for?

draft-ietf-idn-idna-04.txt:

| 3. Requirements
| 
| IDNA conformance means adherence of the following three rules:
...
| 2) ACE labels SHOULD be hidden from users whenever possible. Therefore,
| before a host name is displayed to a user or is output into a context
| likely to be viewed by users, the ToUnicode operation (see section 4)
| SHOULD be applied to each label. When requirements 1 and 2 both apply,
| requirement 1 takes precedence.

That *requirement* is at polar odds with your statements.
