http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11579 --- Comment #5 from Aryeh Gregor <Simetrical+w3cbug@gmail.com> 2011-01-21 12:37:53 UTC --- Users being unable to enter e-mail addresses with IDNs is not a UI issue at all -- it's a functionality issue. Saying that it's a UI issue just because they could theoretically convert their IDN to punycode and enter it that way really stretches the definition of "UI issue" past the breaking point, since practically no users will know how to do that. This does affect real-world interoperability, because it means that authors who care about IDN support will have to work around lack of browser support in whichever browsers don't support IDNs. This is basically the definition of non-interoperability. The guideline that we don't specify UI only exists because UI doesn't affect interoperability, so it has to be discarded when it does (if this even is a UI issue). -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
