Unfortunately, this is a red herring. IDN had a much smaller universe to be
compatible with. Hostnames are generally not allowed to have more than one
hyphen in a row. Thus xn--... should never collide with a hostname, so they
only had to discover if that form was found in the few other DNS usages.
