Why should IMAA discuss it at all? IDNA defines how domain names are internationalized, and that takes care of RHS. Because, as IDNA says, the rules as to where the STD3 hostname rules should be applied are imprecise and the subject of debate, and the implementor needs to interpret the RFCs to decide whether they apply in any given circumstance. If the RFCs are clear on the matter, then it's surely helpful to the implementor to document in IMAA the required value of the UseSTD3ASCIIRules flag for processing IMAs. (And I'd appreciate a reference to the RFC that makes it clear whether mail domains are subject to hostname rules, if there is one.) If there's any ambiguity or disagreement as to whether the hostname rules apply, then perhaps IMAA should take the opportunity of clarifying the situation. -roy
