A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 8228 Title: Guidance on Designing Label Generation Rulesets (LGRs) Supporting Variant Labels Author: A. Freytag Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: August 2017 Mailbox: asmus@unicode.org Pages: 24 Characters: 50900 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-freytag-lager-variant-rules-06.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8228 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8228 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 to design LGRs to 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 RFC 7940. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
