4.1.4 Site names

These sites MUST all be in scheme-and-host form, with a scheme of "https". This means that a simple string serialization of a host is sufficient to identify the site. The API is therefore able to use a simple string to represent sites.
This section includes an algorithm for parsing the domain name and uses the URL spec's "obtain a registerable domain name" definition, so it supports IDNs (non-ASCII internationalized domain names). However, no mention is made of IDNs. The I18N WG thinks that mentioning the possibility of non-ASCII domain names in the "simple string" would guard against bad assumptions and help promote e.g. ICANN's Universal Acceptance goals.
Consider adding a mention such as:
