I don't know about you, but I do that quite often, even sites in languages like Japanese which I don't know at all, especially photo sites where pictures are the main thing, and also for product information: there's often enough brand names and the like to give an idea if it's worth trying a machine translator on it. Another obvious (and probably more common) case is when you travel and temporarily want to use a foreign-language keyboard to access a website in your language. I'm not saying this is a heavy argument against IDNs, usually you get by following links or doing cut'n'paste, but it is a real issue. (A standard and intuitive way of entering all Unicode characters on all keyboard would be something... but it's probably impossible.) -- Tapani Tarvainen
