#25: Adapt rules for bidi components to those in IDNAbis
Comment (by duerst@…):
For IDNA and bidi, please see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5893. The
sections to look for in particular may be
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5893#section-4 and
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5893#section-7, but the whole document is
worth reading for you (and anybody else interested) anyway.
Please note that we can NOT just use the rules in RFC 5893 directly,
because these rules have not been checked against characters such as '/',
':', '?', '#', and so on that appear as component separators in IRIs but
not in IDNs. Harald Alvestrand has sent me the script that he used to
check this (for '.' as a component separator only), but I have yet to try
to adapt it to our needs (it's in Perl, and so the first thing I might do
is to change it to Ruby :-(). I'll send you (Adil) a copy privately. If
somebody else is still fluent in Perl (I used to be) and wants to give it
a try, please contact me.
