Not necessarily if doubling the number of DNS queries was a general 
security light load alternative to DNSSEC. Another possibility would 
be to increment the port or the class number when certain sequences 
are observed, in order to properly address the label, or to get it 
rejected. Another possibility would be to change the IDNA 
implementation architecture without affecting the protocol.

I really think the whole issue should be disambiguated and addressed 
with some form of systemic consideration and method at Internet 
architectural level.
