Hmm....have they REALLY implemented IDNA2003, or are they "just" calling Simons libidn?

Or are they calling normalization functions that happens to be of the version of the unicode version that is installed on the operating system of their choice?

I would like to see some more data here.

But, regardless of that, when do you think it is time to start referencing an RFC that has replaced an earlier one? ;-)
