IDNA2008 does say that "Aà.com" is not PVALID. I _believe_ that under IDNA2003 that becomes "aà.com". The reason IDNA2008 doesn't do that is because you can't tell whether "Aà.com" is supposed to be "àà.com" or "aà.com", so IDNA2008 tries to say "don't do that". IDNA2008 also says that you can do some local mapping. In my opinion, UTS #46 goes too far with compatibility attempts to IDNA2003, but I'm prepared to accept that lots of other people disagree.
