<div class=Section1>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Please find a link to a document that summarize the idna
string preparation steps complementing the description already done in IDNABis.
It does not discuss the restricted repertoire issues that have been abundantly discussed
elsewhere in this list and follows the same pre-conditions as IDNABis-01: case
folding is external to the IDN string preparation and unassigned code points
are not allowed. I have repeated here a few words I put in the document introduction
to that effect.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>&lt;&lt;<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>This document is aligned with the design proposed in
[IDNABis] (Klensin, J., &#8220;Proposed Issues and Changes for IDNA - An
Overview,&#8221; February 2007.) and aims at addressing the name processing
steps described in sections 3.2.1.3 to 3.2.1.5 (Registration) and 3.2.2.3 to
3.2.2.6 (Domain Name Resolution). It also addresses the right to left issue
described in section 6.3 and follows the design criteria described in section
8.1. In other words this document should not be considered as a competitive
proposal to [IDNABis] but rather as a complementary piece. <o:p></o:p></p>
