Hi. I've just decided that further tuning of this version of the draft is unproductive and that the right thing to do is to get it up. It should appear in the archives relatively soon, at least assuming that whatever got Patrik's drafts stuck does not affect this one. See the change log for significant changes from draft-klensin-idnabis-issues-07, but note the following... * This version reflects list discussion to the extent to which I could make sense of it. A few pages of material that discussed relationships to IDNA2003 have been removed as not critical to understanding this material and IDNA2008. That material could, of course, be put back in if there is consensus for doing so. * The contextual rules appendix has been moved to the Protocol document, which I expect to have up in the first part of the week. It didn't belong in this one. Maybe it doesn't belong there either, but I've asked some folks to check the preliminary versions of the regular expressions and haven't gotten a response yet and didn't want to hold this up further. So, while I had not intended to move this until we reached some conclusions about document organization, the pragmatics of getting this out get in the way, and... * With those two exceptions, I've made no changes in response to comments suggesting that material be moved from one document to another. First we decide how we want things organized, then we move things. Otherwise, we will all go crazy as we try to compare versions of documents, etc. * In addition to general list comments, I have applied the changes in some long lists of suggestions from Mark on -07 and Cary on -06 (that didn't make it into -07). Comments in those documents suggesting moving text to other documents have been put aside as well as suggestions from which it is clear from the list that we have no consensus. I'll produce point-by-point lists of responses to those documents if Vint and the authors of the comments decide it is worth the effort (it would take some hours that I'd rather spend on "Protocol" and the inevitable next round of comments on Rationale. Otherwise, I've got handwritten markup on paper versions of those notes that I could scan and send to them if desired. * The references to other IDNA2008/IDNA200X documents are probably a little wonky due to not being able to anticipate what is coming when. Off-list notes about corrections needed would be appreciated, but they will probably be corrected spontaneously before -01 appears. Happy reading, john
