[rfc-i] draft-iab-xml2rfc-02 and draft-flanagan-nonascii feedback: Internationalization Considerations and 7760

[bclaise at cisco.com (Benoit Claise)]

Yes, it does the job ... until we have collisions from real names to a 
single ASCII name
Low probability I guess but my point was more: shouldn't RFC 7760 work 
with the author's full name?

Regards, Benoit
