2. It means you can't type the address in, but how often do you?

Most URLS are accessed as hyperlinks, or perhaps pasted in. I'll try an experiment: the Egpytian Ministry pasted from my clipboard - we'll see what the DU software does with it:

http://موقع.وزارة-الأتصالات.مصر/ar/default.aspx

and inside the DU 'link' format:

Egpytian website

Does that display something meaningful for you? For me, the DU software has changed the 1st one so it's not the full URL, but the first part of it goes to a placeholder .com site that involves a non-Latin character (I presume it's Arabic, but I don't know). The 2nd works OK.

(The URL came from the USA Today article on this - try it if the DU stuff doesn't work for you: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2010/05/3-arab-countries-score-internets-first-use-of-non-latin-letters-in-country-code-domain/1?csp=34 )
