Comment(by hakre):

 Just some pseudocode and thoughts:

 {{{
 $url_unknown = getoption('siteurl');
 list($prefix, $domain, $suffix) = extract_domain_from_url($url);
 $domain_ascii = ( seems_utf8( $domain ) ?  utf8_to_punycode($domain) :
 $domain )
 $url_ascii =  $prefix . $domain_ascii . $suffix;
 }}}

 It might be an option to hook the option siteurl when read but that might
 break the admin output. the rest should work then.

 Or: once entered, the domain will automatically converted and the users do
 not need to do it on their own (Safest way I suppose).
