I will note that my personal preference is very much this option.  I
think it would be an excellent idea to suggest that this is the best
option, because it's the most interoperable (IDNA-ignorant systems
don't spit up on it, for instance), because it's always possible to
get the U-label back out, and because it means that you do the
A/U/A/U-label dance only one time, at the end, when it's time to
display.  But if people are going to put U-labels anywhere, I agree
with John that the best advice we can give is "follow the rules".
