nsIBrowserHistory should pass URLs as nsIURI instances instead of as ASCII strings. several methods on nsIBrowserHistory pass URLs as |in string| parameters. this means that the URL strings must be ASCII or else xpconnect will trash them. with IDN becoming more popular, this is an increasing concern on the web. This problem can lead to crashes (see bug 250900) or at least corrupted data.
