Thanks for the edits, I appreciate them.  I've adjusted the text.

 These comments should not be read as a review of the document.

I suggest switch Section 1 and Section 2. BTW, there is a dot after "Intended Status: Experimental"

I suggest reusing the text from the Abstract as the first paragraph in Section 2 as it makes the scope mentioned in Section 3 clearer:

     This document describes considerations for mailing lists with the
     introduction of internationalized email addresses {RFC5336] and
     makes some specific recommendations on how mailing lists should
     act in various situations.

 In Section 2:

   "Some mailing lists alter the message header, while others do not."

 Shouldn't that be "message header fields"?

    "(that is, each address either is ASCII or has an ALT-ADDRESS)."

 I suggest adding a reference to RFC 5336 for ALT-ADDRESS.

 In Section 5, some editorial changes are suggested for the second paragraph:

     List-Id: List Header Mailing List <list-header.example.com>
     List-Help: <mailto:list(_at_)example(_dot_)com?subject=help> (List 
Instructions)
     List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:list(_at_)example(_dot_)com?subject=unsubscribe>
     List-Subscribe: <mailto:list(_at_)example(_dot_)com?subject=subscribe>
     List-Post: <mailto:list(_at_)example(_dot_)com>
     List-Owner: <mailto:listmom(_at_)example(_dot_)com> (Contact Person for 
Help)
     List-Archive: <mailto:archive(_at_)example(_dot_)com?subject=index%20list>

    "When a UTF-8 mailto is used in a List-* header field, an
     alt-address, if available, SHOULD immediately follow it."

That would make draft-duerst-mailto-bis, currently at -08, a normative reference.

 RFC 2369, RFC 2919, RFC 5504 and RFC 5336 should be normative references.
