I recalled another concern: libunistring is LGPLv3+, glibc is LGPLv2+.
I don't know how glibc people will think about dynamically loading
LGPLv3+ code -- would you be willing to relicense libunistring (or parts
of it, given that I'll probably stay at Unicode 5.2 at least until I've
confirmed that it works fine with Unicode 6.0 too) in this case?

A daemon approach with a smaller wrapper library to communicate with it
would avoid this concern too: then the daemon with the full IDNA2008
implementation could be even GPLv3+ and the wrapper could be LGPLv2+.
