Title : IDN aware application implementation guideline
Author(s) : Y. Yoneya
Filename : draft-yoneya-idn-app-guideline-00.txt
Pages : 0
Date : 2005-2-23
Since IDN Standards [RFC3490-3492] were published, some of gTLDs and
ccTLDs began IDN registration and resolution service. Furthermore,
many major Web browsers became IDN aware. IDNs seem to be popularized
soon.
Meanwhile, IDN introduces huge number of characters which can
represent domain name, so it increases human misreading of domain name
with similar looking characters. This issue was discussed deeply
during IDN standardization and service development, and as a result,
JET Guideline [RFC3743] and ICANN IDN Guideline [ICANN-IDN] was
published. Even if TLD registries comply such guidelines, bad-faith
guys may use IDNs to deceive human eyes with similar looking
characters.
To protect users from such deceiver, implementation guideline for how
to handle IDNs at the User Interface level is important. This
document is intended to be such guideline for application
implementers.

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
