Developing technology to support truly internationalized Internet
identifiers is proving difficult within the framework of the existing
Domain Name System (DNS). At the same time, the DNS continues to do
an excellent job at serving its original mandate for providing
efficient mappings between machine-readable labels and network
resources. However, it is clear that the existing DNS cannot be
transformed into a service that can handle the more human-oriented
identification services it is now being asked to provide. This
document describes the rationale for a directory layer above the
existing DNS that can better solve these problems.

In the body type:

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.
