3280bis internationalization section
Greetings again. The new section 7 on internationalization in 3280bis
is very good. A few comments:
- In 7.2, the bulleted lists make it seem like you don't have to do
step 2, which you do. New wording might be:
* perform step 1 with the domain name treated as a "stored
string";
* perform step 2;
* perform step 3 with the flag called "UseSTD3ASCIIRules" set;
* perform step 4 by processing each label with the "ToASCII" operation;
* perform step 5 by changing all label separators to U+002E (full stop).
...and...
* perform step 1 with the domain name treated as a "stored
string";
* perform step 2;
* perform step 3 with the flag called "UseSTD3ASCIIRules" set;
* perform step 4 by processing each label with the "ToUnicode" operation;
* step 5 is not needed.
- Section 7.5 should be removed. There is nothing currently being
considered in the IETF that relates to this. If there is later an
IETF standard for internationalized left-hand-sides in email
addresses, that standard can also extend the PKIX format.
