Using the example provided of https://crt.sh/?id=294808610&opt=zlint,cablint, 
the error to which we were addressing is, “ERROR: Characters in labels of 
DNSNames MUST be alphanumeric, - , _ or *”. RFC 5280 states that the SAN field 
can contain a dnsName but it must be in the IA5String format.  IA5String is 
defined as the first 128 characters in the ASCII alphabet.  Right now as this 
is defined, it does not include international variance of ISO 646.  Should we 
revisit this issue to clarify if international characters should be included?  
GoDaddy would be in support of adding this clarification.

Thanks, Joanna
