However, the appearance of the text doesn't change apart from being underlined, so you can see when the client has got it wrong (and compensate by cutting and pasting instead). In IDNA, the client would be trying to decode ACE and redisplay it as Unicode. Also, URIs are only recognised now in some situations, certainly not all those in which an ACE name could appear in a proposal like IDNA. - -- David Hopwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Home page & PGP public key: http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hopwood/ RSA 2048-bit; fingerprint 71 8E A6 23 0E D3 4C E5 0F 69 8C D4 FA 66 15 01 Nothing in this message is intended to be legally binding.
