Thank you.

Yes, sure :-)

I'm trying to write I-D as a report of Japanese characters and
canonicalization rules of multilingual domain names according to
JPNIC's technical bylaws.

If I did it, I will report it at next IETF meeting.

Yes, I agree with you. I'm also trying to write I-D of ACE identifier
definition process.

BTW, is it a bad idea to choose LACE identifier as ra-- or aq8, that
were obsoleted RACE identifiers for testing?

P.S.
The name of LACE has a big problem for me. That is, I can't
recognize difference RACE and LACE in conversation X-(
Would you please pronounce RACE and LACE as "R" ACE and "L" ACE
respectively :-)
