>This document describes a framework for preparing Unicode text strings
>in order to increase the likelihood that string input and string
>comparison work in ways that make sense for typical users throughout the
>world. The stringprep protocol is useful for protocol identifier values,
>company and personal names, internationalized domain names, and other
>text strings.
>
>This document does not specify how protocols should prepare text
>strings. Protocols must create profiles of stringprep in order to fully
>specify the processing options.
