I understand that one might thing that just "A-label" might be enough, but after long long discussions when IDNA-2008 was developed, we came to the conclusion to use exactly that terminology that is used.

I think one of the things we (as the community) is doing better and better is to use the same terminology. Which is the basis for all difficult discussions like many of the ones in ICANN community.

I found the answer in RFC 5890, section 2.3.2.1.  A "valid A-label" is the A-label form of a IDNA-valid label.

Sorry for the noise.

Thanks Jothan for sharing it.

I couldn't understand the item 7, where it says "unless it is a valid A-label".  What is a "valid" A-label?  Was it meant to be "valid U-label"?

I'm not sure if VIP list is the right place to discuss this document. Please let me know if it is not.
