Regarding single Unicode code-point labels at the TLD level, there was quite some discussion on this topic at the GNSO Reserved Names working group and then at the new gTLD discussion. The final recommendation from the GNSO was: Single and two-character U-labels on the top level and second level

I think the issue here is how we can plan a better transition than what we have done for SMTP. That is, if we start thinking about 8+ everywhere instead of ACE everywhere scenario, then how we can get there from here. That is the question for the IDN group I believe. Edmon - Original Message

I am not saying its going to be non-backwards compatible. Ok, I have mentioned a possible migration path before, let me try it again (btw, it is funny that everytime I put this out, no one really debate the merits of it... but then a spurt of discussion on UTF8 breaksout) 1. IDNA clients -

Hi Keld, - Original Message - From: Keld Jørn Simonsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was amongst the most vocal proponents af a general 8-bit email exchange protocol, the one that emerged as ESMTP. I remember being at IETF in Santa Fé 1992-ish, where we discussed this, and I was the only

--- Original Message - From: John Stracke [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK, but that's a really minor win; you're talking about *maybe* a few hundred extra memory-to-memory copies (for large queries/responses)--and they're all on the client side (a DNS server with ACE doesn't have to decode the ACE),

Re: [idn] Moving Towards UTF8 vs ASCII(ACE) Forever

- Original Message - From: John Stracke [EMAIL PROTECTED] Provably false: well-coded applications know the limitations of domain names, and do not even attempt to make requests for non-ASCII names. First of all, I disagree with the well-coded part because I believe a well-coded

Moving Towards UTF8 vs ASCII(ACE) Forever

2002-03-21 Thread Edmon Chung
An underlying question we must ask ourselves from all the discussions that have sprung up every now and then is: Do we wish to 1. eventually move the DNS towards UTF8/16 OR 2. do we want to stay with ASCII(ACE) for the rest of our lives? If the answer is 1. then the IDN solution should take it
