The shortest response would be "please read the drafts". :-)

Here's an addition to the list that I gave the other day that will 
hopefully answer your questions.

Format of DNS requests and responses on the wire
utf-5:  no protocol changes, names in UTF-5 (ASCII)
cidnuc: no protocol changes, names in CIDNUC (ASCII)
8&down: addition of IN bit in requests and responses
         for internationalized names, names in
         UTF-8 (binary)
