Sorry if I am interrupting any ongoing discussion,  but I just
have a quick and simple question...

Is it permitted to have internationalized domain names appear
within the database?

By that I really mean to ask if it is permissible to have there
appear in the data base IDNs which are written in their UTF-8
encoded forms, rather than, say, in punycode?

I have found at least one specific case where an IDN does appear
in the data base as a UTF-8 encoded string, but since I had
never seen that before, I just wanted to know if that was an
anomalous mistake or if it was consider normal, acceptable,
and routine.
