Mine doesn't complain, not even with "--tld":

$ idn -u --tld .xn--wgv71a
libidn 1.8

Or am I doing something wrong?

I wasn't aware of that draft, thanks.

No, it was me, I used the wrong
"punycode decode" idn --debug --punycode-decode 'xn--wgv71a'
instead of the correct
"IDNA to Unicode" idn --debug --idna-to-unicode 'xn--wgv71a'
on the page <http://josefsson.org/idn.php/>. Not as fresh
as your version, it says 2005 and 0.5.13 ;-) It's nice how
the input shown above is aligned.

Frank
