The IESG discussed the IDNA document set (IDNA, nameprep, and stringprep) yesterday and raised the following issues: IDNA Security Considerations: Add this: Various computers sometimes compare the right-most portions of domain name against a set of "privileged" (or anti-privileged) domains. Such comparisons MUST be done on the ASCII domain name, just as is done for DNSSEC. punycode It would make sense to mention "bootstring" in the title and the intro as well. Folks that want to use bootstring for other use would presumably look in the title. And the single mention int the abstract is easy to miss. Also, the IANA pointed out that there is no IANA considerations section but merely some inline text about the IANA to assign the ACE prefix. Erik
