I was able to reproduce the first bug — LinkedIn cannot generate a
preview for an IDN with U-Labels, like https://ønskeskyen.dk , but
can generate a preview for the same URL as A-labels, like
https://xn--nskeskyen-k8a.dk/ .
I was not able to reproduce the second bug — LinkedIn can
generate shortlinks for URLs with path parts which are posted in
LinkedIn announcements, but trying to follow the shortlink
produces an error. When I clicked on the shortlink, my browser
delivered me to the original URL with no apparent problem.
I do think this story is a reality check for how difficult it is
for individual customers to get the attention of a business,
especially a big business, about technical and international
matters like Universal Acceptance. I think we must encourage
customers to ask their vendors to fix UA problems. We must,
however, be realistic that this will be like rain on a granite
boulder. There will be no apparent effect for the first many
raindrops. If we wield the chisel of ICANN's name effectively, we
can help the raindrops succeed much faster.
