Well, to be fair, you have three representations of it that happens. What you see in the addressbar is not actually what goes over the wire anyways, so the current implementation (in your words) is actually better as that is what being transmitted. If you were rendering the actual unicode characters there is a risk for "IDN homograph attacks" which basically is what you are hinting at to prevent as well, but your solution would make things worse, not actually better.
