	Title		: An IDNA problem in right-to-left scripts
	Author(s)	: H. Alvestrand, C. Karp
	Filename	: draft-alvestrand-idna-bidi-00.txt
	Pages		: 11

    The use of right-to-left scripts in internationalized domain names
    has presented several challenges.  This memo discusses one problem
    resulting from a constraint on the use of combining characters at the
    end of an RTL domain label, resulting in some words being declared
    invalid as IDN labels, and proposes a means for ameliorating this
    problem.

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-alvestrand-idna-bidi-00.txt".

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
