Abstract

   This document describes the changes between Unicode 6.3.0 and Unicode
   11.0.0 in the context of IDNA2008.  It further suggests a path
   forward for the IETF to ensure IDNA2008 follows the evolution of the
   Unicode Standard.

   Some changes have been made in the Unicode Standard related to the
   algorithm IDNA2008 specifies.  IDNA2008 allows adding exceptions to
   the algorithm for backward compatibility; however, this document
   makes no such changes.  Thus this document requests that IANA update
   the tables to Unicode 11.

   The document also recomments that all DNS registries continue the
   practice of calculating a repertoire using conservatism and inclusion
   principles.

   TO BE REMOVED AT TIME OF PUBLICATION AS AN RFC:

   This document is discussed on the i18nrp@ietf.org mailing list of the
   IETF.

1.  Introduction

   The current version of Internationalized Domain Names for
   Applications (IDNA) was largely completed in 2008, and is thus known
   within as "IDNA2008".  It is specified in a series of documents
   listed in Section 3.1.  The IDNA2008 standard includes an algorithm
