Comment (by cypherpunks): As one of the people with non-ascii ContactInfo, I strongly advise against making that config ascii-only. It might not be obvious to english-native speakers, but in countries with non-ascii characters in their language the introduction of IDN and non-ascii mail addresses was a major advance; restricting this would be a step backward, which will probably need to be corrected again in the future when non-ascii mail addresses become more ubiquitous. I would prefer for all UTF-8 chars to be usable in the ContactInfo, which also allows to not have to transliterate your name into ascii. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/18938#comment:16> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
