Yes. KURL stores internally all hostnames in their ACE-encoded form. 
It'll convert to Unicode when you call KURL::prettyURL.

That way, two equivalent URLs can still be equal, even if the user typed 
two different URLs, differing in case folding only.

That much is true. The way it used to be, there was no global symbol 
binding, so I believe the overhead is much smaller. But, still, I don't 
see much of a way out...
