Internationalized domain names MUST be converted as described in Section
2.3 of [RFC5890] to "A-Labels"
'---

This failed to specify Fake A-Labels should not be permitted.  The point
made by Ticket #17.  RFC5980 introduces restrictions against 3,329
confusable unicode points not excluded by RFC3490.  Unless A-label
validity checks are made by DKIM, it is not reasonable to assume
RFC5980's added protection are afforded

The consensus of the working group, and the guidance from the IESG,
was to allow RFC 5890 and its co-documents to specify the
internationalization aspects.  It is well out of scope for DKIM to try
to do it.  I have seen no support for expanding the statement beyond
what's covered by ticket #4.

I'm happy to re-open ticket #17, and leave it open until WGLC ends,
but unless there's clear support for it, it will then be closed again.
