[idn] IDN WG Last Call: draft-ietf-idn-punycode-00.txt

[Marc Blanchet <Marc.Blanchet@viagenie.qc.ca>]

Title: Punycode version 0.3.3

Abstract:
Punycode is a simple and efficient encoding designed for use with
Internationalized Domain Names [IDN] [IDNA].  It uniquely and
reversibly transforms a Unicode string [UNICODE] into an ASCII
string.  ASCII characters in the Unicode string are represented
literally, and non-ASCII characters are represented by ASCII
characters that are allowed in hostname labels (letters, digits,
and hyphens).  Bootstring is a general algorithm that allows a
string of basic code points to uniquely represent any string of code
points drawn from a larger set.  Punycode is an instance Bootstring
that uses particular parameter values appropriate for IDNA.  This
document specifies Bootstring and the parameter values for Punycode.
