To fix it, the .eg / .xn--4gbrim TLD registrar needs to contact the
Mozilla Foundation in order to inform the Foundation of their
official IDN name allocation policy, so that the native-script URL
display can then be switched on for their domain.

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564213  and

        Wow, talk about layer violation.

        Is there a central place where various TLDs' IDN policies will
        be maintained ?  I see a scalability issue if TLDs have to communicate
        to every single application maintainer out there what their policy is.
