Not a bug - see issue #50

Works as expected.

[404notfoundhard]

Hmm, what about subdomens?

[kjd]

Labels all have the same restrictions in IDNA whatever their placement in the whole domain name.

It should be noted that SRV record labels do contain underscores (e.g. _ldap._tcp.example.com).

[jrlevine]

the _labels are not host names. Also, since they start with an underscore rather than xn-- IDNA obviously doesn't apply to them.
