A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Preparation and Comparison of Internationalized Strings Working Group of the IETF. Title : Stringprep Revision Problem Statement Author(s) : Marc Blanchet Andrew Sullivan Filename : draft-ietf-precis-problem-statement-03.txt Pages : 18 Date : 2011-07-11 Using Unicode codepoints in protocol strings that expect comparison with other strings requires preparation of the string that contains the Unicode codepoints. Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA2003) defined and used Stringprep and Nameprep. Other protocols subsequently defined Stringprep profiles. A new approach different from Stringprep and Nameprep is used for a revision of IDNA2003 (called IDNA2008). Other Stringprep profiles need to be similarly updated or a replacement of Stringprep needs to be designed. This document outlines the issues to be faced by those designing a Stringprep replacement.
