Re: [whatwg/url] IDNA Utils (#274)

My two cents: I'm worried that attaching additional parsing to this feature will result in an implementation hazard.

I was thinking about how to implement domain parsing yesterday and it would be convenient if the URL object contained that information.  However, I would assume that the frequent updates to the Public Suffix List would make it hard to maintain compatibility between browsers and versions.

The size and complexity of an IP parsing library is nowhere near that of Stringprep, Nameprep, and Punycode.  But if it's easy to do, IP parsing is a reasonable request to make of the standard library for a web-centric programming language.

WRT to which version of `ToUnicode` ... make it configurable :woman_shrugging:?
