I haven't read the IDNA draft either, but I'll accept your analysis

By "valid" I mean "parsable", essentially. Handling slightly
malformed or semantically questionable messages is an [unfortunate]
MUST for modern systems, of course. My understanding is that raw
international addresses will not be parsable by most existing
systems; that is why we may need IDNA.
