IDNABIS Working Group completes its work

[Dean Anderson]

It seems rather premature to wind down IDNABIS when the work product
has, well, stumped the DNSEXT Chairs---who seeking help on IETF main
list because they can't figure out how to proceed---and is subject to a
145 page appeal.  If the DNSEXT Chairs don't get it, who can?

The work on IDNA isn't done.  While we saw a similar half-effort in
DNSSEC (and it appears IPV6 is in the same category), I think the DNSSEC
experience demonstrated that serious problems have to be solved rather
than ignored.
