Well, I suppos that it needs to be able to translage <post@æøå.no> to 
something meaningfull when you type in such address. And meaningfull 
means an ascii-encoded something. Receiving mail from such an domain is 
easier -- even if the mail client doesn't know how to convert the 
receeived address into <post@æøå.no> it will be able to receive and 
reply to the maili -- but it will *look* ugly in Ilohamail. So the 
support is mostly needed when one writes such addresses.  That is my 
understanding.

Here is a english page at the Norwegian internet domain names authority 
site which describes things, and lists some resources:
