Thanks for the edits, I appreciate them.  I've adjusted the text.

 These comments should not be read as a review of the document.

 I suggest switch Section 1 and Section 2.  BTW, there is a dot 
after "Intended Status: Experimental"


 I suggest reusing the text from the Abstract as the first paragraph 
in Section 2 as it makes the scope mentioned in Section 3 clearer:


 This document describes considerations for mailing lists with the
 introduction of internationalized email addresses {RFC5336] and
 makes some specific recommendations on how mailing lists should
 act in various situations.

 In Section 2:

   "Some mailing lists alter the message header, while others do not."

 Shouldn't that be "message header fields"?

"(that is, each address either is ASCII or has an ALT-ADDRESS)."

 I suggest adding a reference to RFC 5336 for ALT-ADDRESS.

 In Section 5, some editorial changes are suggested for the second paragraph:

 List-Id: List Header Mailing List 
 List-Help:  (List Instructions)
 List-Unsubscribe: 
 List-Subscribe: 
 List-Post: 
 List-Owner:  (Contact Person for Help)
 List-Archive: 

"When a UTF-8 mailto is used in a List-* header field, an
 alt-address, if available, SHOULD immediately follow it."

 That would make draft-duerst-mailto-bis, currently at -08, a 
normative reference.


 RFC 2369, RFC 2919, RFC 5504 and RFC 5336 should be normative references.
