The following errata report has been submitted for RFC8265, "Preparation, Enforcement, and Comparison of Internationalized Strings Representing Usernames and Passwords".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5479 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Peter Occil <[email protected]> Section: 3.1 Original Text ------------- A userpart is allowed to contain only code points that are allowed by the PRECIS IdentifierClass defined in Section 4.2 of [RFC8264] and thus consists almost exclusively of letters and digits. Corrected Text -------------- A userpart is allowed to contain only code points that are allowed by the PRECIS IdentifierClass defined in Section 4.2 of [RFC8264] (with respect to the userpart containing them, not to the username as a whole) and thus consists almost exclusively of letters and digits. Notes ----- Because certain characters in IdentifierClass are CONTEXTO and are not valid unless the whole string doesn't contain certain other characters (an example is ARABIC-INDIC DIGITS), it is unclear whether the context-specific rules apply to the whole username or to individual userparts. However, section 3.5 strongly suggests that usernames (as opposed to userparts) are the matter of a higher-level protocol than this RFC. As a result, this erratum adds the text in parentheses to clarify that context-specific rules apply to individual userparts. Instructions: ------------- This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC8265 (draft-ietf-precis-7613bis-11) -------------------------------------- Title : Preparation, Enforcement, and Comparison of Internationalized Strings Representing Usernames and Passwords Publication Date : October 2017 Author(s) : P.
