Fair.

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.  

I claim the registrant believe they register a unicode string, while the registry in fact register an A-label.

Thats why I am confused why people are so focused on U-labels. The trouble is in the unicode string -> U-label mapping, not the U-label -> A-label mapping.
