As you may recall,

   http://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dnsop/adrEUoWPq1EoxonkvcCJCnEkcFg

the .tw registry employs a DNAME to identify their traditional and simplified
Chinese IDN TLDs (simplified is a DNAME alias for traditional).  For example:

台湾.                   DNAME   台灣.
日曆.台湾.              CNAME   日曆.台灣.
日曆.台灣.              SOA     brit.ns.cloudflare.com. dns@cloudflare.com. ...

Or equivalently:

xn--kprw13d.		DNAME	xn--kpry57d.
xn--wgvnt.xn--kprw13d.	CNAME	xn--wgvnt.xn--kpry57d.
xn--wgvnt.xn--kpry57d.	SOA	brit.ns.cloudflare.com. dns@cloudflare.com. ...
