I think at this point casting the "sameness" problem in terms of
charset mapping is more than misleading.  In IETF terms, a charset is
a character repertoire in a particular encoding.  The IDN effort can
be seen as changing the character repertoire in a way that re-used the
previous codepoints in a new encoding.  That was hard enough for
people to get their heads around.

At the label level, .xn--fiqz9s and xn--fiqs8s being equivalent is no
different from colour.example and color.example being "the same".

Let's not confuse our terminology further, please.
