No, I'm not talking about the encoding of components within the URI into URI characters, I'm talking about the encoding of URI characters into octets. I.e., the second sentence of this paragraph, not the first: The URI syntax provides a method of encoding data, presumably for the sake of identifying a resource, as a sequence of characters. The URI characters are, in turn, frequently encoded as octets for transport or presentation. > How non-ASCII characters in zone files of a name server are > represented is a local issue to the name server. This is the *en*coding of characters in a zone file into wire data octets. (And, anyway, the zone file format is flexible enough that it can load arbitrary octets, via \DDD escapes.) How should a receiver decode the wire data octets? -- Robert Edmonds _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
