Preparation of Internationalized Strings
RFC 3454, “Preparation of Internationalized Strings”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2003 by P. Hoffman, M. Blanchet. It has been obsoleted by RFC 7564 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a framework for preparing Unicode text strings in order to increase the likelihood that string input and string comparison work in ways that make sense for typical users throughout the world. The stringprep protocol is useful for protocol identifier values, company and personal names, internationalized domain names, and other text strings. This document does not specify how protocols should prepare text strings. Protocols must create profiles of stringprep in order to fully specify the processing options. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
