Really. > "UTF-8 forms of internationalized labels" are not "internationalized > labels" ? The UTF-8 form of an internationalized label is an internationalized label. But that's irrelevant, because labels in DNS containing octets >= 128 are not UTF-8. The only text encoding used by DNS is ASCII (according to the current DNS standard). The octets >= 128 in DNS are non-ASCII, but that doesn't mean they are UTF-8. We don't know what they are, except octets. The UTF-8 form of an internationalized label is an internationalized label, but a sequence of octets with no charset tag is not an internationalized label (it's not even text). So I stand by my position quoted at the top of this message. AMC
