This document is the revised protocol definition for
Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).  The rationale for changes,
the relationship to the older specification, and important
terminology are provided in other documents.  This document specifies
the protocol mechanism, called Internationalized Domain Names in
Applications (IDNA), for registering and looking up IDNs in a way
that does not require changes to the DNS itself.  IDNA is only meant
for processing domain names, not free text.  [STANDARDS TRACK]
