there is a compatibility issue anyway, since the alternative to your
scenario is an IDNA2008 implementation rejecting "maße.com" completely for
a DNS lookup.
That decission, namely, allowing "ß" for registration or not after
IDNA2008 has been widely deployed, is best left to the registry, who can
then opt for redirection of "maße.com" to "masse.com".
