The IETF does not specify how apps interface with users; Generally, that's true, but IDNA is an exception. It state four requirements (RFC 3490 section 3.1), and one of those four has rather little to do with wire protocols, and quite a lot to do with UI behavior: 3) ACE labels obtained from domain name slots SHOULD be hidden from users when it is known that the environment can handle the non-ACE form, except when the ACE form is explicitly requested. When it is not known whether or not the environment can handle the non-ACE form, the application MAY use the non-ACE form (which might fail, such as by not being displayed properly), or it MAY use the ACE form (which will look unintelligible to the user). I think this discussion is headed toward an update to IDNA that would add a second exception to that requirement, for protecting the user against phishing. What we need to figure out is how to describe that exception, and how specific or deliberately vague that description should be. AMC
