Why would a TLS library even parse punycode? The sole reason we still use this hack is so that core infrastructure does not have to change when we use internationalized domains.
If TLS libraries, DNS servers, HTTP servers, ... needed to be patched anyways for the use of IDNs, then why did we not do it properly and just use UTF-8?
No matter how many vulnerabilities we've introduced into software, "Š" in my name still cannot be represented in domain names and is instead written with american letters xn--pga.
I'm sorry for poorly articulating my thoughts here.
