A wizard or an auto-conversion (option 3 in my list) is probably 
sufficient for domain locking/checking.

Well, this is done for multi-(sub-)domain hosts. I'd rather not have 
links created with weird looking punycode-URLs. But puncyode can be 
reversed, so you have the original UTF-8 (or UCS-4) domain name.

Looking at the necessary transformations I'd add a configuration option 
   "enableIDNA" that enables the necessary transformation on storage (in 
the BE) and on link creation (in the FE).
