IMAA -02 draft available

Greetings again. Based on the discussions on the list earlier, Adam 
and I have revised the IMAA draft.

At this point, there appear to be only a few open issues, so please 
look through the document to both help resolve the open issues and to 
report any others that you think are there. We have heard interest 
from mail client vendors who would like to implement this sooner 
rather than later (so they can do IDNA and IMAA at the same time).

>The Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA)
>specification describes how to process domain names that contain
>characters outside the ASCII repertoire.  A user who has a non-ASCII
>domain name may want to use it in an Internet mail address that
>contains non-ASCII characters not only in the domain part but also
>in the local part (the part to the left of the '@').  This document
>describes how to use non-ASCII characters in local parts.  It
>defines internationalized local parts (ILPs), internationalized mail
>addresses (IMAs), and a mechanism called IMAA for handling them in a
>standard fashion.
