Continuing the discussion in https://github.com/bestiejs/punycode.js/issues/11,
I wrote a simple test that sets URLs with IDNA2003 separators U+002E, U+3002,
U+FF0E, U+FF61 as the `src` of an `iframe` element in memory, and then returns
the resulting normalized `src`.

Chrome, Safari, Firefox:

http://xn--maana-pta.com/
http://xn--maana-pta.com/
http://xn--maana-pta.com/

Opera:

http://mañana.com/
http://mañana.com/
http://mañana.com/
http://mañana.com/

It seems all browsers tested so far support these separators for backwards
compatibility. I haven’t tested IE yet, or older versions of the other
browsers.
