Comment:

 I think allowing it is rather non-trivial.  Even if it's allowed at
 canonicalization level for Jabber IDs in libpurple (which relies, at least
 under some circumstances, on the output of a third-party library),
 internationalized domain names with _ in them would not work because the
 use of the "ToASCII" function (how programs translate from an IDN to
 something that can show up in DNS) does not allow 'invalid' ASCII
 characters in domain names (including '_').

 So while we could make the change, I'm concerned that it would
 be...well...spotty.  What server software is this, by the way?  Openfire?
