Tried this with FF7 and IE9 and IETab in FF7. The only one that gets it 
straight is IETab...kinda funny.

Then again, who wants such a URL for a business anyway? Nobody can type that 
letter on their keyboard and the punycode equivalent isn't really easy to 
remember or meaningful. Yes, it makes the geek in me smile, but I hardly see 
any practical purpose for this.
