Last Call: draft-ietf-precis-framework-15.txt (PRECIS Framework: Preparation and Comparison of Internationalized Strings in Application Protocols) to Proposed Standard
The IESG has received a request from the Preparation and Comparison of Internationalized Strings WG (precis) to consider the following document: - 'PRECIS Framework: Preparation and Comparison of Internationalized Strings in Application Protocols' draft-ietf-precis-framework-15.txt as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the i...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-04-23. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Application protocols using Unicode characters in protocol strings need to properly prepare such strings in order to perform valid comparison operations (e.g., for purposes of authentication or authorization). This document defines a framework enabling application protocols to perform the preparation and comparison of internationalized strings (PRECIS) in a way that depends on the properties of Unicode characters and thus is agile with respect to versions of Unicode. As a result, this framework provides a more sustainable approach to the handling of internationalized strings than the previous framework, known as Stringprep (RFC 3454). This document obsoletes RFC 3454. This document makes a normative reference to RFC 20, which predates document statuses and therefore may be a downward reference. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-precis-framework/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-precis-framework/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
