[UA-discuss] Mixing between RTL and LTR scripts

[Richard Merdinger]

GoDaddy might be able to apply some resource to help here.

Don,
Do you want me to engage with our primary IETF rep on this?  He shepherds our RFC work and should be able to help guide this.

Subject: Re: [UA-discuss] Mixing between RTL and LTR scripts

I have already published some RFCs containing non-ASCII characters (but not yet RTL text). See for instance RFC 8265.

My experience of RFCs is that they are ASCII and that makes it rather difficult to give Arabic examples.

The last thing I encountered is https://tools.ietf.org/pdf/rfc7997.pdf which proposes usage of Unicode UTF-8 instead of ASCII

What is the current state of play for using Unicode UTF8 in RFCs?

Andrew, is this possible?   If so, how do we go about getting such underway?

Write an Internet-Draft and upload it to the Internet-Drafts
repository and get some review.  My bet is that this will either have
to be AD sponsored or Independent Submission, but maybe it can go
through one of the area working groups.

The first trick is to get the I-D written, though.  There are a lot of
tools for this, none of them very friendly.  Many people like
