Opera's solution from http://www.opera.com/windows/changelogs/800b2/ :

* Added whitelist of safe top-level domains for IDN. 
  - TLDs are considered safe if they have implemented anti-homographic character policies or otherwise limited the available set of characters to prevent spoofing.
  - Current whitelist contains: :no:jp:de:se:kr:tw:cn:at:dk:ch:li:
  - List is in opera6.ini and is updated automatically in the Opera version check.
  - Domain names from other top-level domains that contain characters outside Latin 1 will be displayed in punycode, an encoding syntax designed for use with IDNA, specified in RFC3492.
