 * I have wordpress blog on IDN domain and I am using wordpress stats plugin to 
   track referrers. I have 2 problems with referrer tracking.
 * 1st problem is that wordpress stats plugin adds all internal link clicks to refferers
   list. Entries look like “xn--my-own-idn-site-name” which is my own IDN domain
   name url. So I have plenty of false refferers like this.
 * 2nd problem is similar to 1st one. I have plenty of false referrers that look
   like “my-own-site-%u017ename”. These are clicks on internal links within my IDN
   site. In these referrer entries all non ascii characters are changed to values
   like %u017e (this one stands for “ž” in IDN domain name).
 * A lot of internal clicks are falsely counted as referrers by the wordpress stats
   plugin and produce entries either of type “xn-my-idn-name” or type “my-idn-name%
   u017e” in the referrer list.
