Comment #11 on issue 30881 by pkast...@chromium.org: IDNs displayed as  
punycode in omnibox
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=30881

It would definitely be good to have a description of what we do somewhere,  
even if
only for our own reference.  brettw is probably the authority on this stuff.

I read that entire thread (again, since I had also read it when it  
happened) and am
not completely sure why it justifies Chrome/Mac sending only one language.   
It seems
like it explains why _Safari_ sends only one language, but from the  
direction of
"Safari doesn't have UI to modify Accept-Language at all".  I would assume  
that for
Chrome, our goal is to provide parity with Chrome/Win, which allows users  
to set this
value via explicit UI.  If we want to never have this dialog (which I don't  
have a
strong opinion about), it seems like the reasons for not having it are just  
as valid
on Windows, and thus we should get a cross-platform ruling from the UI team  
(as
advised by web compat folks).

Thus, my suggestion about how to proceed is:
* Ask brettw if there is a description of our IDN policy on our wiki, and  
if not,
work with him to write one
* Decide whether you want to ask the UI team to remove the Languages UI on  
all
platforms, and then do that or file a bug to implement it on Mac

In the meantime, I'd leave this closed.
