Quoting myself:

In the meanwhile you may wish to note that the Mozilla folks -- whose concern with this issue fired the debate -- have just released a version of their Firefox browser that addresses the issue by making the Punycode form of an IDN fully visible in the browser's status line, while retaining the Unicode form in the browser's address line.
I'm afraid I spoke too soon about this. The latest release displays 
Punycode in both the address and status lines. I incorrectly assumed 
that the behavior of the pre-release version that I was using had 
been retained. This permitted the full configuration of where 
Punycode and Unicode could appear but, as far as I can tell, that 
option has been removed.
