Noticed this one this morning:

--- start excerpt
A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: Compatible Internationalized Domain Names Using 
                          Compression
	Author(s)	: P. Hoffman
	Filename	: draft-hoffman-idn-cidnuc-02.txt
	Pages		: 12
	Date		: 15-Feb-00
	
This protocol describes a transformation method for representing non-
ASCII characters in domain names in a fashion that is completely
compatible with the current DNS. It meets the many requirements for
internationalization of domain names.

Note: this protocol is quite experimental and should not be deployed in
the Internet until it reaches standards track in the IETF.
--- end excerpt

Regarding the Note: - is there any coherent plan regarding testing/deployement
in regards to moving this from Experimental to Standards Track?
