[ Benny, here and on postfix-users, I'd like to encourage you to refrain

All DNS servers support "UTF-8", because non-ASCII UTF-8 labels
(U-labels) are encoded in DNS to A-labels via punycode and prefixed
with the "xn--" "ACE prefix".

Thus my domain "духовный.org" becomes "xn--b1adqpd3ao5c.org":

    $ dig +noall +nottl +nocl +ans -t soa +idnin +noidnout духовный.org
    xn--b1adqpd3ao5c.org.       SOA     nsb.imrryr.org. 
postmaster.dukhovni.org. 550956 3600 1200 604800 1200

as far as DNS servers and resolvers are concerned.  The conversion from
U-labels to A-labels (and perhaps back) happens in IDNA-aware
applications.  "On the wire" there are no U-labels.

This is simply wrong.
