        What about президент.рф?

        … Well, right, – Emacs by itself doesn’t seem to offer IDN
        support right now, but I guess that will change.  Eventually.

        Given that there still seem to be an add-on for Firefox
        implementing the Gopher protocol support, – I’d give NNTP at
        least quarter a century starting from now.

        But my point is: Firefox doesn’t try to interfere with add-ons
        which implement protocols other than HTTP.  Unlike EWW.
