A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Internationalized Domain Name Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: BRACE: Bi-mode Row-based ASCII-Compatible Encoding for
                          IDN version 0.1.2
	Author(s)	: A. Costello
	Filename	: draft-ietf-idn-brace-00.txt
	Pages		: 18
	Date		: 19-Sep-00
	
BRACE is a reversible function from Unicode (UTF-16) [UNICODE]
text strings to host name labels.  Host name labels are defined by
[RFC952] and [RFC1123] as case-insensitive strings of ASCII letters,
digits, and hyphens, neither beginning nor ending with a hyphen.
[RFC1034] restricts the length of labels to 63 characters.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idn-brace-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
