Sorry, but IDNA very much does define an enhanced character space for 
domain names.

Yes, it also defines a mapping for those enhanced characters onto the 
existing 7-bit ASCII domain name space, but it is important to distinguish 
between the Unicode domain name, versus the ASCII encoding.

Please provide descriptions of specific usage scenarios that demonstrate 
technical failings that are special to IDNA.
