Then, U+AC00 x 56 times (in my previous posting) is a valid label conforming to RFC1035 ? and its equivalent ACE label (of 63 octets ) is a valid label ?
UTF8-encoded IDN labels are not governed by RFC1035 length restrictions ? IDNA contains brand new length restrictions for 8bit labels which obsoletes RFC1035 ?
