COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for this document.  From an RFC series perspective, I wonder whether
this wouldn't have been better to put into a bis of RFC 9209 rather than a
standalone RFC ... but I'm not suggesting that you change this now.

One minor comment:

(1) p 4, sec 2.1.  Encoding special characters

   Upon parsing this name, "dot%5C.label" MUST be treated as a single
   label.
   Similarly the "\" character in a label MUST be escaped as "\\".

I think that this is probably obvious, but possibly could state 'escaped as
"\\" and then percent-encoded'.

Regards,
Rob
