Ok, you've made this claim repeatedly.  We've heard it.

Like it or not, the actual computer world we actually have is using
Unicode, and IDNA is using it too.

Repeating over and over again that it won't work isn't helpful.  If
you have specific criticisms of a specific proposal, that is helpful,
and I'll be happy to read it.  Otherwise, I hereby ask you not to post
again the claim that Unicode needs to be abandoned.  There are lots of
things that would be different if we'd made different decisions in the
past, but we didn't and here we are.
