I'm not familiar with ICU so I left it outside the scope of that change. However, it would make sense to have a larger change that includes ICU as well.

Firefox for example switches to IDNA transitional (i.e., 2003) when the string cannot be expressed in IDNA2008 (e.g., contains disallowed characters). With libidn2 that can be expressed as: https://libidn.gitlab.io/libidn2/manual/libidn2.html#Converting-with-backwards-compatibility regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
