All browsers are showing same but we have specs link in the Comment 0 as well. I just wanted to share updated results, it might be faulty due to being done on wayback archive. Appreciate if someone can look, if it is still a bug and not aligned with web-spec then moving to Radar or getting this fixed would be great. If web-spec changed and all browsers are fine then it can be marked as "RESOLVED INVALID". Thanks!

This cannot be tested via Wayback Machine, we'll need to test on a different domain.

I can reproduce this on https://日本語.jp.

I have just tried with https://日本語.jp/ and window.location.href & document.URL both show punnycode in Safari & Chrome & Firefox.

All browsers are aligned here so I don't think we should change?

Sounds like config changed to me.
