Some reading on IRIs and IDNs

This probably makes sense since IRIs aren't being used. I originally
advocated for sending Unicode to the server, for the domain only, but that's
just a weird mix isn't it.

Good server software should be taking the admin's hostname input (from config)
and punycoding it though, so that the admin can enter the Unicode domain name
and not have to worry. Obviously this is outside of the spec, but I think
it's a good thing to implement.
