Title : Character Normalization in ITEF Protocols
Author(s) : M. Duerst, M. Davis
Filename : draft-duerst-i18n-norm-04.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 13-Sep-00
The Universal Character Set (UCS) [ISO10646, Unicode] covers a very
wide repertoire of characters. The IETF, in [RFC 2277], requires that
future IETF protocols support UTF-8 [RFC 2279], an ASCII-compatible
encoding of UCS. The wide range of characters included in the UCS has
lead to some cases of duplicate encodings. This document proposes
that in IETF protocols, the class of duplicates called canonical
equivalents be dealt with by using Early Uniform Normalization
according to Unicode Normalization Form C, Canonical Composition (NFC)
[UTR15]. This document describes both Early Uniform Normalization
and Normalization Form C.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
