This document explores issues with Internationalized Domain Names
(IDNs) that result from the use of various encoding schemes such as
UTF-8 and the ASCII-Compatible Encoding produced by the Punycode
algorithm.  It focuses on the importance of agreeing on a canonical
format and how complicated it ends up being as a result of using
different encodings today.
