It's a workaround, not actual support.

If we're gonna be that nitpicky, the entire internet is a workaround
Disagree, I think it's actual support.
Who cares about the technical implementation, it works doesn't it? It is fully supported by all modern systems, you type in the Unicode URLs and you see the correct page. Just because it gets converted to some other encoding along the way doesn't mean it's somehow no longer valid. Lots of things get transcoded along the way, nobody cares about that.
