After extensive analysis and discussion, the Mozilla community and Opera have already produced a fix for this, based on only displaying Unicode

1. It's strange that so many months of discussion and debate about this elsewhere missed such an obvious and complete solution.

2. Who is the authority that decides whether a TLD uses an acceptable policy?

3. How does this apply to subordinate domains that might or might not enforce "acceptable" policies, given that no all policy-making is at the TLD level?
