Chris, Rainer: Your presentation references syslog-international as future work. Does this still hold true?
I thought by specifying Unicode and UTF8 we will already handle internationalization in syslog-protocol. The only current exceptions I can think of are maybe support for Unicode in structured elements (which is easy to allow) and international DNS names which we did not explicitly mention in -protocol. If these are the only things left for internationalization of -protocol, then maybe we should just include it -protocol. This should not expand it by more than 1-5 paragraphs, and if it saves us from doing a whole separate ID, I think it is worth it. We can either support the "punnycode" (ASCII encoding of Unicode DNS names used in DNS) or allow Unicode UTF8 in HOSTNAME. For punnycode details see RFCs 3490, 3491, 3492 and 3454. But I am not clear we should support punnycode. This is something that DNS supports in order to be able to re-use existing DNS server/client implementations which don't support Unicode. I think it would be a good idea to just stick to Unicode and insure we meet the length requirements of international DNS names (I don't know what they are but can find out). Are there other areas of internationalization for -protocol?

I don't mean to hog the microphone but I'll be giving the presentations for Jon, Rainer and Anton. I'm still looking for a scribe and jabberer. Please send me email to let me know if you can do either. Also, we're in Gardenia-A2. That's the room next to the Terminal Room and is easy to miss. Thanks, Chris
