> Technical Summary
> 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.
>
> Review and Consensus
> The document was presented and discussed during at least two IETF
> meetings.  It has the support of the WG, and there are at least three
> independent implementations of LGR processor with good coverage
> of WLE processing; the format described is already used in expressing
> Root Zone LGR for various writing systems.
