No, this WG has come up with a proposal which is targeted specifically
at circumventing bugs in legacy implementations. If it was only a question
of choosing an ideal specification and ignoring bugs, "just send UTF"
would be a clear winner. Dan's comments here are perfectly
relevant.

Or are you saying that IDNA is needed merely because this WG
doesn't have access to the particular protocols that need to be
changed to do this thing right?
