Hi all,

I'm still concerned about the i18n issues of WEIRDS. I notice that the i18n
problem is explicitly raised by the Charter, but AFAIK this problem is not
discussed too much on the mailing list or the current WG documents.

I'd like to start this thread focused on i18n issues in order to make sure
whether the text in the Internationalization Considerations Section of
using-http-00 needs to be improved. On the other hand, I hope we can find
some missing important things which should be covered within this topic
through this thread.

IMHO, indicating language/script in response may be a potential missing
thing of i18n issues. I wonder whether the 7.3 section of
draft-sheng-weirds-icann-rws-dnrd-01 is worth being reconsidered and covered
by the using-http draft.

Any thoughts or comments on this topic are appreciated.

Cheers,
Ning
