"ß" still gets false-corrected to "ss"

Reported by martin.w...@gmail.com, May 14 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.133 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
http://harmonie-fußpflege.de/leistungen/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to http://harmonie-fußpflege.de/leistungen/
2. See how Chrome turns ß into ss
3. You actually went to http://harmonie-fusspflege.de/leistungen/ which does not exist (atm anyway)

What is the expected behavior?
Calling http://harmonie-fußpflege.de/leistungen/ instead of http://harmonie-fusspflege.de/leistungen/

What went wrong?
The ß got turned into ss following 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 57.0.2987.133  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

Chrome follows IDNA2003 standard, which converts any ß character into ss. It would be great if Chrome supported the IDNA2008 standard ( http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5895 ), which has full support for the ß character, hence resolving the URL to the correct server.

I believe ICU implements this logic (As opposed to GURL, the network stack, or the omnibox).

Marking this as Untriaged for more inputs as this has been behaving the same on older chrome version: 30.0.1549.0 on Mac OS 10.12.4 and Linux Ubuntu 14.04 as well. 
This issue also affects the HTML input field of type email.
The 'ß' is converted to 'ss' instead of converting the domain part to punycode (other symbols like öäü are converted correctly).
This is a bit disconcerting, because copying a domain from the Firefox URL bar will into Chrome will literally take you to a different origin.

For example, https://rapidßl.com/ in Firefox turns into https://rapidssl.com/ in Chrome.

Sadly, this is a duplicate of an old bug intentionally marked as WontFix by jshin@, who said he's reconsider the policy in late 2017 after firefox completes some experiments.
