IDNA specified an encoding system for mapping UTF8 labels to
ACE-prefixed LDH labels that can be used in DNS.  The resulting data in
DNS (in zone files and on the wire) is ASCII LDH.

This is false.  IDNA tweaked the encoding rules, mostly to make sure
that both:

    A-label -> valid U-label -> A-label
    valid U-label -> A-label -> valid U-label

are the identity function.

The SMTP HELO name was always 7-bit, none of the above changed this.
