Re: length restrictions on IDN label

 
 Then,
  U+AC00 x 56 times (in my previous posting)  is a valid label  
conforming to RFC1035 ?
   and its equivalent ACE label (of  63 octets ) is a valid label ?

   UTF8-encoded IDN labels are not governed by RFC1035 length restrictions ?
   IDNA contains  brand new length restrictions for 8bit labels   which 
obsoletes RFC1035 ?
