Running dig on a newly built Linux machine I see
the below output (and man page explaining it).
To me this just seems wrong. Mucking with the
bare metal here is not desirable. The zone *is*
x n - - x k c 2 a l 3 h y e 2 a . , it is not
the native script version (which is unprintable
on the machine I'm on).
Comments? Should DiG's output be unchanged or is
this "good?" Should the OS vendors be asked to
stop this?

It's trying to be nice (from the man page):
IDN SUPPORT
If dig has been built with IDN (internationalized domain name)
support, it can accept and display non-ASCII domain names. dig
appropriately converts character encoding of domain name before
sending a request to DNS server or displaying a reply from the
server. If you´d like to turn off the IDN support for some reason,
defines the IDN_DISABLE environment variable. The IDN support is
disabled if the variable is set when dig runs.
I like the "for some reason" quip.
