	hi, the new draft draft-pechanec-pkcs11uri-18.txt addresses 
comments on the use of UTF-8 in labels and names.  The issue is that 
the PKCS#11 specification does not comment on normalization of the 
UTF-8 encoded Unicode characters, it just says "UTF-8".  So, it is 
RECOMMENDed now in draft 18 to use US-ASCII only but enough 
information is provided as to what SHOULD be done if characters 
outside of US-ASCII need to be used.

	link to a diff from the previous draft version 17 is as 
follows:

https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-pechanec-pkcs11uri-18.txt

	best regards, Jan.
