Huh?!?

The zone file contains the A-label not the U-label, which unsurprisingly
also works when called directly. It's also what the registrant believes
they entered into the zone. A browser developer is free to decide which
form to display but implementing "could end up somewhere else"
functionality does not strike me as being inthe best interests of either
the registrant or user communities.
