This is very wrong. The Punycode encoded value does not include the
"xn--" string.
The text should instead read:
Internationalized domain names MUST be converted using
the steps in section 4 of [RFC3490] using the ToASCII
function.
Agreed.
Calling this an ACE label which is identified by the "xn--" prefix
may avoid some of the confusion.
This could also be written as:
Internationalized domain names MUST be converted using the
steps in section 4 of [RFC3490] into "ACE" labels using the
ToASCII function.
