Members of this list may be interested to know that the first cut of a
patch to implement UTR#39 "Moderately Restrictive" and "Highly
Restrictive", as interpreted here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/IDN_Display_Algorithm
has been written for Firefox. This algorithm would be used for TLDs
which are not on our existing whitelist.
You can follow along in this bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722299
and can find builds to try out here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/smontagu@mozilla.com-b7a042eb454e/
Feedback very much welcomed, particularly on what to do about those bits
of UTR#36 which our engineer considered too underspecified to implement,
as noted in comment #16.
