IDN is based on "stringprep" defined in RFC 3454. One of the (optional)
steps is normalization using NFKC, which is performed after removing
certain characters and replacing others. The "profile" of stringprep
used in IDN is called nameprep which is defined in RFC 3491. Note that
stringprep is currently limited to using the characters defined in
Unicode version 3.2.
