Right-to-Left Scripts for Internationalized Domain Names for Applications
RFC 5893, “Right-to-Left Scripts for Internationalized Domain Names for Applications”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2010 by H. Alvestrand, C. Karp. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The use of right-to-left scripts in Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) has presented several challenges. This memo provides a new Bidi rule for Internationalized Domain Names for Applications (IDNA) labels, based on the encountered problems with some scripts and some shortcomings in the 2003 IDNA Bidi criterion. [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.
