Thanks, Martin.

Here's a similar discussion of the Windows approach (used in bzr):

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/256550/comments/6

This is what Solaris uses:

http://developers.sun.com/dev/gadc/faq/locale.html#get-set

(they require conversion to ASCII and using IDNA for non-ASCII
names)

I found this RFC draft on the topic:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-josefsson-getaddrinfo-idn-00
which suggests that there is no standard for the encoding
used by the socket host name APIs yet.

ASCII, UTF-8 and IDNA are happily mixed and matched.
