Developing technology to allow for truly internationalized Internet
identifiers is proving a hard nut to crack within the framework of
the existing DNS. At the same time, the DNS continues to do an
excellent job at serving its original mandate for providing efficient
mappings between machine-readable labels and network resources. What
is not clear is whether the existing DNS can be transformed into a
service that can handle the more human oriented identification
services it is now being asked to provide. This document embraces,
extends and complements a proposal by John Klensin to address the
requirements for a directory layer above the existing DNS that can
better solve these problems. The discussion concludes by proposing a
strawman called the Service Lookup System (SLS).

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.
