Unfortunately, I am remaining highly confused. The IDNA effort is about domain NAMES. As nearly as I can tell, this thread is about domain name PARAMETERS, such as non-name fields in RRs. Although this makes for a clearly important topic, it is not relevant to IDNA. As a follow-on effort, to increase the "internationalization" of strings used for Internet standards, worrying about non-nameprep issues sounds like a dandy topic. But how, oh how, does it relate to the current set of specifications that are seeking standardization. d/ ps. you profess to still lack some clarity about this thread. for a thread that has been quite active for 2 weeks, I hope the lack of clarity bothers you. ---------- Dave Crocker <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> TribalWise, Inc. <http://www.tribalwise.com> tel +1.408.246.8253; fax +1.408.850.1850
