   On the spec side of things: This is a known issue of the URL Standard and Unicode Technical Standard UTS#46 (which specifies IDNA processing used by WHATWG's standard). A fix to UTS#46 is scheduled to be released in tandem with Unicode 10.0.0 next month. See:

   • URL Standard issue: IDNA whatwg/url#53
   • UTS#46 issue: http://www.unicode.org/review/pri317/
   • Latest UTS#46 draft: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr46/proposed.html

   On the implementation side, a future ICU4C update with the possibility to disable the CheckHyphens flag will resolve this, but a solution like #12966 which uses existing error handling infrastructure should be robust also (already used for several other error conditions we explicitly filter out).
