Dynamic DNS Update (RFC2137) features allow some similar/identically-looking 
IDN ACE labels to be inserted without any intervention from human administrators.
IDN-administration draft efforts, most of which have focus on the idn REGISTRATION,
may be ignoring those protocol/security/architectural issues. 
ACE labels are to be treated and trusted as ASCII ones but it shouldn't .
That will be a great blow to the stability,trustworthiness and security of global DNS systems.
