A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : A Name Munging Protocol
Author(s) : J. Klensin
Filename : draft-klensin-name-munging-01.txt

As one works on internationalization issues for DNS, email, and other
protocols, it becomes clear that the various encodings and
transformations required, while not intrinsically difficult, can be
an impediment to rapid conversion of applications to international
form and to rapid prototyping of new applications. This document
proposes a new, lightweight, protocol that can be used to make such
conversions, rather than incorporating the needed tables and
algorithms into each application.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-klensin-name-munging-01.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.
