Duh. Re-reading your post I noticed I had forgotten to answer the question.

Yes, the functions are exposed. They are in Waldo's KIDNA namespace (kidna.h) 
and in my KDE::Network::Resolver class. The normalisation I refer to is the 
process of encoding and then decoding of a hostname -- or, just the nameprep 
for Unicode strings and the decoding for ACE-encoded ones.

Yes, it's code duplication. We'll sort that out before releasing anything. 
Besides, KDE::Network::Resolver is largely unfinished for the moment.

Note that my functions at least carry a big warning about the exposing of 
ACE-encoded hostnames to the user. That shouldn't happen unless absolutely 
necessary.
