Unicode domain names

When going to a link like http://うたう。みんな or http://www.replaylegetøj.dk/ Opera shows the domain name as its underlying encoding, e.g. www.replaylegetøj.dk. IE 11 or Firefox shows them as japanese and danish respectively. I believe it is desired by most users to see them the same was as these two browsers do, and not the way Opera currently does it?
Is this something that will be addressed in future versions of Opera?

Afterthought:
I guess unicode domains are not even supported very well by this forum software itself, as it seems to fail hilighting ANY of those three links.Maybe unicode domain names is still considered "exotic"?

Leo, right, but they weren't rendered as links/URLs automatically, which is the thing.
E.g., on ru.wikipedia, article URLs end with Cyrillic wording - altercating to some "per cent something" makeshifting in certain cases. On many sites such cyrillic URLs aren't recognised as links either - unless you use certain markup (if it helps) - which latter did you refer to and which is not the point here.Although you're right still, and it should be referred to in your "FAQ" thread*:P*

I regret having posted the 2nd comment about this forum, because my first post about Opera's addressbar is what was really interesting. I basically derailed my own thread in a few seconds!
Anyway, try copy pasting www.replaylegetøj.dk into Opera, and watch how it explodes into www.replaylegetøj.dk
That's what I think someone should do something about.

It seems to be how Chromium works: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/idn-in-google-chrome

What a bizarre approach!
But thanks for the information, now it works for me.
