<span class="gmail_quote"></span>I think one of the background assumptions for this effort is to focus on identifying the allowed "output" characters, not the "input" characters. That is, full width A-Z are already disallowed in the *output* of
<span id="st" name="st" class="st">IDNA</span>, so this would have no change from that.
<br><br>In retrospect, we really shouldn't have had the transformation embodied in <span id="st" name="st" class="st">IDNA</span>, just what can actually occur "on the wire".<br><span class="sg"><br>Mark</span>

Hello everyone,<br><br>It's great to see so much energy in the idna200x efforts!<br><br>One of my concerns is that it may be too late to try to prohibit some<br>of the characters that were previously permitted by rfcs 349[0-2],
<br>whether mapped or unmapped in the normalization and case-folding<br>processes. One example that comes to mind is the full-width latin<br>range U+FF01..5E and another is the cjk iteration mark U+3005.<br><br><a href="http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-faltstrom-idnabis-tables-01.txt" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-faltstrom-idnabis-tables-01.txt</a><br><br>Some may decide, after a close reading, that the old rfcs do not allow<br>non-punycode domain names in html, but the fact of the matter is that
<br>these do occur. Now that even the market-leading web browser (msie)<br>has a version out that supports these (v7), it may become increasingly<br>difficult to convince some implementors to prohibit characters that<br>
actually occur in the wild.
