RFC 3490 is an obsoleted RFC, need to reference the latest IDNA RFC.

-- You updated description in the document to read (in 2 places):

Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) must first be	
transformed to the IDNA encoding as per [RFC5891].

However this is not clear enough, because you are not saying whether you
want to use A-labels or U-labels. I suggest:

in 4.1.2, change:

         Internationalized Domain
         Names (IDN) must first be transformed to the IDNA encoding as
         per [RFC5891].

to:

         Internationalized Domain
         Names (IDN) must first be transformed to the A-label form as
         per [RFC5891].

You can also add "[RFC5890]" to the end of the sentence (and add it to
Normative References), as it defines A-labels.


Similarly, in 4.3.3, change:

   Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) must first be
   transformed to the IDNA encoding as per [RFC5891].

to:

   Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) must first be
   transformed to the A-label form as per [RFC5891].

IANA Auth type registry no longer created? Has this been moved to another
draft?
