An IETF working group is defining a standard for
international domain names based on the full Unicode character set
(current domain names are limited to ASCII). Information on this
standard is available at http://ietf.org/html.charters/idn-charter.html
and http://www.i-d-n.net/.

The java.net classes that operate on domain names should be updated to
support international domain names when the standard becomes available.

Now that the standards related to IDNs are available from IETF, we should support it in Mustang. Here is a list of the relevent RFCs:

RFC 3490 Internationalizing Doamin Names in Applications (IDNA)
RFC 3491 Nameprep: A Stringprep Profile for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)
RFC 3492 Punycode: A bootstring encoding of Unicode for Internationalized Domain Names in Applications (IDNA)
RFC 3454 Preparation of Internationalized Strings ("stringprep")
