Received changes through RFC Editor sync (created alias RFC 8222, changed title to 'Selecting Labels for Use with Conventional DNS and Other Resolution Systems in DNS-Based Service Discovery', changed abstract to 'Despite its name, DNS-Based Service Discovery (DNS-SD) can use naming systems other than DNS when looking for services.  Moreover, when it uses DNS, DNS-SD uses the full capability of DNS, rather than using a subset of available octets.  This is of particular relevance where some environments use DNS labels that conform to Internationalized Domain Names for Applications (IDNA), and other environments use labels containing Unicode characters (such as containing octets corresponding to characters encoded as UTF-8).  In order for DNS-SD to be used effectively in environments where multiple different name systems and conventions for their operation are in use, it is important to attend to differences in the underlying technology and operational environment.  This memo presents an outline of the requirements for the selection of labels for conventional DNS and other resolution systems when they are expected to interoperate in this manner.', changed pages to 11, changed standardization level to Informational, changed state to RFC, added RFC published event at 2017-09-21, changed IESG state to RFC Published)
