I'm going to ask this as a question, not a comment, directed to those who know something about IDN. Isn't IDNA2008 a "convention" on top of the representation? And, this isn't about display, it's about, well, encapsulation, maybe? And isn't IDN tied to Unicode? I ask for a few reasons - "non-AS

Glue records are necessary to prevent circular references, i.e. to cut the loop. The most obvious and common situation is where the name server is below the cut. If the address of the name server were not included, the querying system would keep being referred to the parent, i.e. stuck in a lo
