Re: [idn] length restrictions on IDN label

Let me repeat again,

the restriction is octet(ToASCII(X)) <= 63 (sorry, forget the =).

The length restriction of a domain name (incidently, UTF-8 encoded string
which looks like domain name is not a domain name) in a DNS UDP packet is
something beyond this working group.
The restriction orginated from RFC1035 affects all label creation/validations.
And "octet(ToASCII(X)) <= 63" seems to loosen the restrictions about
8bit labels. That is why i think RFC1035 restriction is about to be obsoleted.

Please bring it to the DNSEXT working  group.

As a novice IETF pariticpant, I have little experience with DNSEXT WG.
Would  Area Directors make comment on this issue, Erik ?
