What is an "IUser"? Also, what other than "a" (U+0061) would "Ａ"
(U+FF21) map to? Host names have been case-insensitive from the start,
the Turkish I is not going to change that.

Also, the focus on end users over stability of URLs found in markup in
elsewhere feels like a distraction. Most users, for better or worse,
use a search engine these days to get to a particular domain. They no
longer enter addresses in the address bar.
