Title : ACE using Extended Hex Values (ACE16x)
Author(s) : E. Chung, D. Leung
Filename : draft-ietf-idn-ace16x-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 28-Jun-01
ACE16x is a simplified version of DUDE [DUDE-02] that requires no 5
bit or base-32 mapping. ACE16x encoding results in a string that
performs as well as DUDE technically.
Instead of resorting to a quartet-to-quintet mapping mechanism,
ACE16x simply uses the hex values with an extended hex (16x) scheme
for compression. In essence, instead of pre-pending an extra bit,
ACE16x shifts the last quartet of a compressed code point up to
another character. Additionally, the 16x value is calculable
instead of needing to be mapped.

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.
