Abstract

DUDE [DUDE01] by Mark Welter and Brian Spolarich is an ASCII-Compatible Encoding (ACE) of Unicode strings, and AltDUDE is a slight variation on it that is conceptually simpler. AltDUDE is a reversible map from a sequence of unsigned integers (intended to be Unicode code points) to a sequence of letters (A-Z, a-z), digits (0-9), and hyphen-minus (-), henceforth called LDH characters. Such a map might be useful for internationalized domain names [IDN], because host name labels are currently restricted to LDH characters by [RFC952] and [RFC1123].
