Well, no, not really.

The example given had nothing to do with Internet protocols, but rather 
with how to transition the software on a computer system to support a 
richer set of characters.  That is, of course, an interesting problem, but 
it is not part of IETF scope.

The transition issues for IDNA that actually pertain to Internet protocol 
behavior have been described repeatedly and are identical with the kind of 
changes that were required to adopt MIME.
