In article <14A8995E-D7BF-4994-98F8-875CCED02085(_at_)frobbit(_dot_)se> you 
write:
I think this needs to be discussed a bit more in the LAMPS WG, but you have 
a good point here.

I would extend to 'starting in "XX--" where X can be any ascii character" 
because who knows whether we need a
completely different prefix one day.

I hope you mean X can be any ascii letter or digit.  After all, Ctrl/C is an 
ASCII character.

Or you should explicitly note that ascii-only mailboxes do imply the literal 
value and those strings MUST NOT
be interpreted as A-Labels.

Urrgh.  As far as I know, this is an entirely valid ASCII address:

  fred(_at_)xn--exmple-qta(_dot_)com

That domain name happens to be the A-label for ex�mple.com but so what?

R's,
John
