In testing yes, not in production, but then we have less than 200 IDN registrations.

You only asked for one example, not a canonical ruleset for how we process the U-label data!  Obviously the U-label must be valid and if it is not then we don't process it in the same way we don't process invalid A-labels.

And my point was that for non-IDNs the registrant believes they are registering an A-label which is the same A-label that the registry registers.  But with IDN there is no longer this direct relationship as the registrant believes they are registering the U-label while the registry actually registers the A-label.
