>    Rules for validating identifier labels and alternate 
> representations
>    of those labels (variants) are known as "Label Generation Rulesets"
>    (LGRs); they are used for the implementation of identifier systems
>    such as Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).  This document
>    describes ways of designing Label Generation Rulesets (LGRs) that
>    support variant labels.  In designing LGRs, it is important to 
> ensure
>    that the label generation rules are consistent and well-behaved in
>    the presence of variants.  The design decisions can then be 
> expressed
>    using the XML representation of LGRs that is defined in RFC7940.
