Kinda-sorta, but it won't quite work for this. The high-order answer is to reference IDNA 2008 (RFC 5892 will do) and say that characters that are PVALID are acceptable here. The trouble with that is that it limits you to lower case characters: all the upper case characters are DISALLOWED. It could work to say "PVALID characters and their upper case versions." But, really, I think Brian's right that we don't need to worry, especially because there's the designated expert in the middle, who can say, "PILE OF POO"? Really? Why do you want to use that character? Barry _______________________________________________ Anima mailing list Anima@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/anima
