> This document describes a method of representing rules for validating
> identifier labels and alternate representations of those labels using
> Extensible Markup Language (XML). These policies, known as "Label
> Generation Rulesets" (LGRs), are used for the implementation of
> Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), for example. The rulesets are
> used to implement and share that aspect of policy defining which
> labels and Unicode code points are permitted for registrations, which
> alternative code points are considered variants, and what actions may
> be performed on labels containing those variants.
>
> This document is a product of the Label Generation Rules Working Group
> of the IETF.
>
> This is now a Proposed Standard.
>
> STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
> protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and
> suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition
> of the Official Internet Protocol Standards
> (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
> standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of
