The DNS *could* encode language/script information (or relations between corresponding names in different languages/scripts); all that would need is a new RR. What is true is that the names themselves are not language- tagged. Also, the requirements draft makes a useful distinction between domain names (which are octet strings) and host names (which are character strings). Both are identifiers. I suggest: "Domain names and host names are forms of identifier. Language information is not encoded in these names; that is, names from different languages are defined in a single namespace." - -- 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.
