The IDNA RFC in question simply relied on the assumption that RFC 1035, in turn, assumed ASCII. Note that RFC 1035 never explicitly required ASCII for the format: it simply didn't say how to interpret non-ASCII octets, but did say how to escape characters. --Paul Hoffman _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
