[idn] Announcing the clean-i18n mailing list

["D. J. Bernstein" <djb@cr.yp.to>]

I've set up a mailing list where we can discuss progress on UTF-8 IDNs.
To subscribe, send a message to clean-i18n-subscribe@list.cr.yp.to.

If you love the beauty of Quoted-Printable, if you think that ACE IDNs
are the long-term IDN solution, and if you think that it's acceptable to
deploy a 7-bit Internet MTA, then this is not the mailing list for you.

The rest of us agree that everyone will eventually move to UTF-8, even
if something else happens in the short term. Programs that have trouble
with UTF-8 need to be fixed. The clean-i18n list is a good place to
point out what works and what doesn't.

The overall topic for the mailing list is ``Eliminating the horrors of
multiple character sets and encodings.'' This is not an IETF list;
contributors are encouraged to focus on real problems and solutions.
