[idn] NUDGE: Moving the IDN RFCs from Proposed to Draft Standards

[Paul Hoffman / IMC <phoffman@imc.org>]

Just a quick reality check. I sent this message with the four 
follow-ons a week ago. We haven't heard anything on the list (or off 
the list, for that matter). Maybe our proposed changes are perfect 
and beyond comment...

> Greetings again. Patrik, Adam, Marc and I have made editorial

> announcements for those drafts came out recently; the following four 
> messages include a summary of the announcements plus the list from 
> each Internet Draft about what changes it makes to the corresponding 
> RFC. Note that none of the protocols were changed: all the document 
> changes were for clarification based on comments we have received 
> over the past six months, plus a few minor editorial changes. That 
> is, an implementation of the old RFC should work the same under the 
> new RFC.
