[idn] IESG comments on IDNA
The IESG discussed the IDNA document set (IDNA, nameprep, and stringprep)
yesterday and raised the following issues:
IDNA Security Considerations:
Add this:
Various computers sometimes compare the right-most portions of
domain name against a set of "privileged" (or anti-privileged)

It would make sense to mention "bootstring" in the title and the intro
as well. Folks that want to use bootstring for other use would
presumably look in the title. And the single mention int the abstract
is easy to miss.
Also, the IANA pointed out that there is no IANA considerations section
but merely some inline text about the IANA to assign the ACE prefix.
