Convert to punycode when adding domain

i just always think that commercial and open source difference is in way how new option implement. That fine that someone, i.e. 3rd party, develop something which is extend commercial software features. But, is not be this is developer problem first? It is not so exsotic feature.
IDN domain become are standard. Anyone who will ignorance this will fail with his business - it is impossible ignore Chinese or Russia or Arabic native domain. Era of domains only on latin characters could be end soon.
 
That's why we solve this problem for ourselves. We do not wait this from developer.
Sure, you can wait... but will your clients wait?

I'm sure that this and some other problems can be solved on skin's level. Because it is quite easy to integrate almost any PHP code to any part of a skin templates, without a need to use post/pre scripts.
 
Hello,

Just as a side-note, what most people are doing right now is adding the non-encoded domain into DA normally, and then adding an alias domain pointer onto that domain in the punycode format. It's one extra step, and a fairly clean workaround for now.

Hello John,

Did you mean by "non-encoded domain" a domain printed with national chars?

If so, I think there's another problem can occur for Russian Domains, because we still have 3 popular char-sets: KOI8-R, CP1251, UTF-8. If historical we have Linux Servers with UTF-8 support, and FreeBSD servers with KOI8-R support... where's and where will be problems to transfer accounts between them.
