The IESG has received a request from the Preparation and Comparison of
Internationalized Strings WG (precis) to consider the following document:
- 'Mapping characters for PRECIS classes'
<draft-ietf-precis-mappings-11.txt> as Informational RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2015-08-04. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
Abstract
The framework for preparation, enforcement, and comparison of
internationalized strings ("PRECIS") defines several classes of
strings for use in application protocols. Because many protocols
perform case-sensitive or case-insensitive string comparison, it
necessary to define methods for case mapping. In addition, both the
Internationalized Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) and the PRECIS
problem statement describe mappings for internationalized strings
that are not limited to case, but include width mapping and mapping
of delimiters and other special characters that can be taken into
consideration. This document provides guidelines for designers of
PRECIS profiles and describes several mappings that can be applied
between receiving user input and passing permitted code points to
internationalized protocols. In particular, this document describes
both locale-dependent and context-depending case mappings as well as
additional mappings for delimiters and special characters.
