Re: [idn] RE: An idn protocol for consideration in making the requirements

Fine with me. then let's be sure to not include anything like :

2.5 Base32
|
|In order to encode non-ASCII characters in DNS-compatible domain parts,
|they must be converted into legal characters. This is done with Base32
|encoding, described here.
|
|Table 3 shows the mapping between input bits and output characters in
|Base32. Design note: the digits used in Base32 are "2" through "8" ("8" ... <etc>
|...


and deal with it at implementation.
