Dear all,

 

Please find attached the redline version of the updated document.  This includes the edits suggested by Edmon incorporated in the latest version of the document.  It also specifies whether the variant refers to a code point or a label.  We have referred to variant code point also as “variant rules”.  I have tried to adjust that to refer consistently to variant code points – just to make sure these do not get confused with label evaluation rules. 

 

Please let us know if you have any further feedback.   Again, we are aiming to publish this on 9 May (LA time).  If you need more time to review, please let us know.

 

Regards,
Sarmad

Hi Edmon.  Thank you for the feedback.  I will incorporate these in the latest version and circulate it shortly.  I will also try to add detail on whether the variants being referred to are code points or labels.

Sarmad

Sorry this came late.  Made a number of suggested edits basically to follow our own glossary to use IDN variants where appropriate rather than just varaints.  See if can update if not too late.
