Are we sure that all the use cases for this AFI fall into the ASCII character set. DNS names clearly do meet that restriction. But many other names do not. And while people can and do define escapes, it produces complicated and messy situations.

I ask because as defined, even if we wanted to, this can not be used to carry UTF-8 to the fact that bytes of all 0 may occur in UTF-8.

There are many good reasons to keep this simple scope. If we want to keep that restrictions, it seems to me that the introduction should be clear about the scope.

Yours,

Folks, I am going to update this draft so it doesn’t expire. At this time, I 
would like to request this a working group document. It is a very simple draft 
and would like to see if there are any comments and if we can start a last call 
on it. Chairs?
