These comments should not be read as a review of the document.

I suggest switch Section 1 and Section 2. BTW, there is a dot after "Intended Status: Experimental"

I suggest reusing the text from the Abstract as the first paragraph in Section 2 as it makes the scope mentioned in Section 3 clearer:

    This document describes considerations for mailing lists with the
    introduction of internationalized email addresses {RFC5336] and
    makes some specific recommendations on how mailing lists should
    act in various situations.

In Section 2:

  "Some mailing lists alter the message header, while others do not."

Shouldn't that be "message header fields"?

   "(that is, each address either is ASCII or has an ALT-ADDRESS)."

I suggest adding a reference to RFC 5336 for ALT-ADDRESS.

In Section 5, some editorial changes are suggested for the second paragraph:

    List-Id: List Header Mailing List <list-header.example.com>
    List-Help: <mailto:list@xxxxxxxxxxx?subject=help> (List Instructions)
    List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:list@xxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe>
    List-Subscribe: <mailto:list@xxxxxxxxxxx?subject=subscribe>
    List-Post: <mailto:list@xxxxxxxxxxx>
    List-Owner: <mailto:listmom@xxxxxxxxxxx> (Contact Person for Help)
    List-Archive: <mailto:archive@xxxxxxxxxxx?subject=index%20list>

   "When a UTF-8 mailto is used in a List-* header field, an
    alt-address, if available, SHOULD immediately follow it."

That would make draft-duerst-mailto-bis, currently at -08, a normative reference.

RFC 2369, RFC 2919, RFC 5504 and RFC 5336 should be normative references.
