Title : Stringprep Revision and PRECIS Problem Statement

Abstract:
If a protocol expects to compare two strings and is prepared only for
those strings to be ASCII, then using Unicode codepoints in those
strings requires they be prepared somehow. Internationalizing Domain
Names in Applications (here called 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.
