I am not able to find in what sense the "Reserved LDH" labels of RFC
5890 are really reserved, and I am not sure about the implications of
permitting "xn--..." hostnames to be explicitly configured.
If we want to allow non-ASCII names, then it would IMO be safer to use a
type that expects straight Unicode for lexical representation and leave
it to the implementations to convert to Punycode where necessary, e.g.
when querying DNS.
