Code review request, 8020842 IDN do not throw IAE when hostname ends with a trailing dot

[Mike Duigou]

I've been confused through this discussion as to why a trailing dot would be regarded as illegal.

Historically a trailing dot has been frequently (though not universally) used to denote a fully qualified domain name.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_domain_name

Is this use now illegal/unsupported/invalid? Does having a trailing dot conflict with other parts of the IDN specification?
