Then your browser is showing you the non-punycode version, but behind the
scenes it's doing the conversion, and all of the requests (both DNS and
HTTP) will be using the encoded version.  Firefox and IE both also show the
encoded version in the URL - from what you've said it sounds like Safari is
different.

Either way it just proves my point - non-latin characters in domains exist,
and have done for many years.
