This is 1998, before a lot of the systems involved were built to be as careful about tracking and preserving submission dates and other metadata.
So, yes, it's a general problem, and known, but there's not much to do to address it other than deal with it case-by-case.
This particular draft was not in the collection of drafts that had been under the secretariat's control when starting the current notion of the archive/repository. We have, as part of trying to backfill missing drafts, accepted collections from some community members with IESG approval at the time. This particular set of drafts came from a collection provided by Henrik, but I note that the dates there don't line up with the dates on the draft or what were synthesized as NewRevisionDocEvents in the datatracker.

The root cause of the discrepancies are lost in time.
(fwiw, This kind of provenance information is made available when legal requests are presented.)
If you know the actual submission dates, for certain, we can manually adjust these. We would take you at your word as author, but It would be awesome if you could point to some email list artifact that supported the submission date.
The best way to ask for an adjustment is to email support@ with the details.
Unless you have further questions, please close this issue.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Internationalization of Domain Names Author(s) : M. Duerst Filename : draft-duerst-dns-i18n-00.txt Pages : 13 Date : 12/16/1996
Internet domain names are currently limited to a very restricted character set. This document proposes the introduction of a new "zero-level" domain (ZLD) to allow the use of arbitrary characters from the Universal Character Set (ISO 10646/Unicode) in domain names. The proposal is fully backwards compatible and does not need any changes to DNS.
Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-duerst-dns-i18n-00.txt". A URL for the Internet-Draft is: ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-duerst-dns-i18n-00.txt

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.

Dear friends,
Yesterday I have submitted three Internet-drafts (deadlines make me work :-) connected to the topic of internationalization of internet identifiers. They should soon appear in the IETF anouncements and on the respective ftp servers. You can already obtain them as:
ftp://ftp.ifi.unizh.ch/outgoing/draft-duerst-dns-i18n-01.txt ftp://ftp.ifi.unizh.ch/outgoing/draft-duerst-i18n-norm-00.txt ftp://ftp.ifi.unizh.ch/outgoing/draft-duerst-query-i18n-00.txt
The first draft describes a method to internationalize DNS easily without having to change the core DNS software in any way. It is an update of a draft that expired a few weeks ago. With enough consensus, this could go into experimental phase rather quickly.
The second draft is an initial attempt at defining normalization and additional guidelines for international identifiers. This is necessary to eliminate bad user surprises, but does not have very high priority as the normalization rules can be defined so that most current systems and users anyway only produce already normalized identifiers.
The third draft contains material about the problem of internationalizing the query component in URLs. This is a particularly important, but also particularly tricky part of URL internationalization. The draft describes a convention currently used by most browsers (and working in many cases), and some additions to the HTTP protocol (intended to be version-independent) for a safe upgrade to UTF-8 URLs. The basic idea should be sound; the syntax and terminology may need more work.
I am glad about any feedback directly back to me or on any of the lists I am posting this information. I appologize to those that get this information more than once. I will also be in Munich and look forward to talk to anybody interested. However, because most parties seriously interested in URL internationalization (their number is steadily increasing :-) have indicated that they won't be able to attend Munich, I have unfortunately had to cancel a planned official meeting (the specific topic of the meeting was that of the second draft above). I hope that a meeting will become reality at a later IETF. One occasion where there will certainly be a lot of discussion about internationalized URLs, just because many of the players happen to attend or be around, will be the upcomming 11th International Unicode Conference in early September in San Jose.
Regards, Martin.

Brian Carpenter IAB Chair INTERNET ENGINEERING REPORTS ---------------------------- IETF Monthly Report for December, 1996 1. The IETF meeting, hosted by cicso Systems, met in San Jose, California on December 9-13, 1996. As has been noted, it was the largest IETF meeting to date with just under 2000 registered attendees. The IETF opens 1997 in Memphis, Tennessee where Federal Express will be the host. This meeting will be held April 7-11, 1997. Following Memphis, the IETF is we returning to Europe and will met in Munich, Germany August 11-15, 1997, hosted by Digi/ISOC.DE. The Secretariat is still working on the final meeting of 1997 (probably located in Washington, DC). Once all the arrangements have been made, notifications will be sent to the IETF Announcement list. Remember that information on future IETF meetings can be always be found in the file 0mtg-sites.txt which is located on the IETF shadow directories. This information can also be viewed from the IETF Home Page on the Web. The URL is: http://www.ietf.org 2. The minutes of the IESG teleconferences have been publicly available on the IETF Shadow directories since 1991. These files are placed in the /ftp/iesg directory. The following IESG minutes have been added: November 21, 1996 (iesg.96-11-21) 3. The IESG approved or recommended the following three Protocol Actions during the month of December, 1996: o Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM): Protocol Specification be published as an Experimental Protocol. Kennedy [Page 3] Internet Monthly Report December 1996 o Management Information Base for Frame Relay DTEs be published as a Draft Standard. o X.500 Implementations Catalog-96 be published as an Informational RFC. 4. The IESG issued three Last Calls to the IETF during the month of December, 1996: o Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels <draft-bradner-key-words-02> for consideration as a Best Current Practices RFC. o NBMA Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) <draft-ietf-rolc-nhrp-10> for consideration as a Draft Standard. o Combined DES-CBC, HMAC and Replay Prevention Security Transform <draft-ietf-ipsec-esp-des-md5-03> for consioderation as a Proposed Standard. 5. Two Working Groups were created during this period: NNTP Extensions (nntpext) Large Scale Multicast Applications (lsma) and one working group concluded this period: CIDR Deployment (cidrd) Kennedy [Page 4] Internet Monthly Report December 1996 6.

The US Domain administrator no longer makes direct registrations of hosts, and only makes delegations of third or fourth level domain names (such as localities). Some of the processing of the requests for the third level domain names is now automated. In particular, most requests to register names in localities already delegated are automatically forwarded to the administrator for that locality.

In addition to the constaint to use them only for the defined purpose, each of these special domains is also to delegated only to a manager within the state, and the operation of the delegated registry should be non-profit. The LIB domain should be managed by a govermental or educational library organization. Further, it is most appropriate for the K12, CC, and TEC, domains to be managed by an educational organization (for example, a university or a department of education). Kennedy [Page 11] Internet Monthly Report December 1996 The STATE domain is most appropriately managed by an agency of the state government. DST and COG should be managed by a goverment agency. The GEN domain may be delegated to any organization that will provide the registration service for free (and remember the purpose of the GEN domain is to register statewide non-profit organizations). ----------------------- THIRD LEVEL DELEGATIONS ----------------------- There was no new special domain delegations.

Merit is pleased to announce "Route Server Next Generation" (RSNG), a new service supported by exchange point operators nationwide. The project provides for continued operation of the Route Servers, which were developed by Merit and the University of California Information Sciences Institute as part of the NSF-funded Routing Arbiter project. The Route Servers take over the task of processing routing updates for ISP routers, eliminating the need to establish separate peering sessions with other routers at each exchange point. The Route Servers thus provide a boost in throughput for ISP routers and allow faster delivery of customers' data through the Internet. For more information about RSNG, see: http://www.merit.edu/~rsng Route Server operations at the Network Access Points were supported by the National Science Foundation until January 1, 1997. NSF made the decision to commercialize Route Server and Network Access Point operations following the 24-month review of the Routing Arbiter and the four NAP projects in July 1996. NSF noted that all these projects had completed their basic missions ahead of schedule, and Kennedy [Page 13] Internet Monthly Report December 1996 stated that the Routing Arbiter and the NAPs "have now proven that multiple network providers can work together in a competitive marketplace, and so can be scheduled for transition to commercial operations themselves." Routing Arbiter Database support and development continue to be supported by NSF, along with several routing engineering and statistical research projects. Last month's report described development work on Trawhoisd, a distributed version of the RADB whois server that supports data caching by FTP and by mirroring. We neglected to note that the database mirroring mechanism was developed by David Kessens of the RIPE NCC. We apologize for the omission. Merit staff members Sue Hares, Bill Norton, Craig Labovitz, Jerry Winters, and Jake Khuon attended the 37th IETF in San Jose during the week of December 9. Norton gave a talk at the afternoon plenary session about Merit's Route Server Next Generation project. Winters discussed Trawhoisd at a Routing Policy System Working Group meeting, and Labovitz gave a presentation titled "Internet Routing Stability Analysis" at the IEPG meeting preceding IETF. IETF was also the site of a Merit GateD Consortium meeting. The next release of GateD, expected in early 1996, will incorporate support for route dampening, the BGP Multi Exit Discriminator (MED), and the BGP Destination Preference Attribute (DPA). Future releases will provide support for multicast routing, incorporate several OSPF enhancements, and support the CMU-SNMP agent and SNMP ISODE Smux interfaces. For more information about the GateD Consortium, see: http://www.gated.org Susan R. Harris ***@***.***) UCL ---- Ballardie, Crowcroft, Kirstein and Perkins attended the San Jose IETF, and participated in rsvp, qos routeing and mmusic WGs. Crowcroft co-chaired the new WG on Large Scale Multicast, and Ballardie co-chaired the IDMR working group. Plans on CAIRN connectivity for UCL have now just about reached closure.

These localities will be made available for redelegation in the coming months. A new policy has been added regarding the locality delegation. For delegations (or redelegations) made after 1-Jul-97, it is assumed by the US Domain Administrator that every applicant for the delegation (or redelegation) of a locality name has the written agreement of the legitimate government for that locality for the applicant to manage the domain name of that locality. Evidience of such an agreement does not need to be presented at the time of delegation (except that the administrative contact on the application template must be the government representative). However, if the delegation is later challenged or contested, the manager of the locality domain must produce the agreement. Failure to do so will most likely result in the transfer of the management of the locality domain to another manager that does have such an agreement. If there is a dispute as to what is the legitimate government for a locality is and who may act for it, the league of cities or association of municipalities of that state (as recognized by the National League of Cities) may be asked to assist in resolving such disputes. In some places there are overlapping jurisdictions with the same name (for example, the city of Los Angeles and the county of Los Angeles). In such cases, the higher level government should have priority. IMR Editor [Page 20] Internet Monthly Report July 1997 The US Domain registration form is now available online at http://www.isi.edu/us-domain. The US Domain has the maps of all the delegated special domains online at http://www.isi.edu/us-domain. The US Domain administrator no longer makes direct registrations of hosts, and only makes delegations of third or fourth level domain names (such as localities). Some of the processing of the requests to the third level domain name is now automated. In particular, most requests to register names in localities already delegated are automatically forwarded to the administrator of that locality. A new policy has been added regarding the charges for the domain name passed on during delegation. The administrator of the locality has to notify one year in advance before charging for those domains.

Organizations that are peering with the Route Server Next Generation (RSng) project's Route Servers can use a new Web Interface to check the parameters of their peering session: http://www.rsng.net/peer_template/viewconf.html The new form displays public fields in RSng's extended 'inet-rtr' (Internet router) objects, which specify routes that the Route Server should import and export on behalf of each peer. The RSng inet-rtr object, which was developed by Jake Khuon, extends the definition found in the RIPE document, "Specifying an `Internet Router' in the Routing Registry" (RIPE-122). To use the Configuration Viewer to view an RSng inet-rtr object, simply enter the IP address or AS number of the peer you want to obtain information about. The Configuration Viewer only displays public information about routes exchanged with the Route Servers, rather than private network contact information. The Configuration Viewer was developed by Abha Ahuja. ------------------------------------------------------------ Merit is pleased to announce a new, distributed version of its Internet Rover package. Developed by Bill Norton to monitor network devices for the NSFNET project, the Rover code is now used to monitor networks worldwide, including the Italian National Network, the Pentagon Network, and the Princeton Network. IMR Editor [Page 23] Internet Monthly Report July 1997 The previous, centralized Rover code was based on a simple model: if a device failed a test, an alert would be displayed at the Network Operations Center. NOC operators would then investigate the cause of the failed test and take any necessary action. When the test succeeded, the alert would be removed. Over the past ten years, Merit programming staff have worked with many network operators to evolve the software package to meet their needs. The latest release, Internet Rover 4.0, introduces the notion of distributed "Area Managers" into the model. The Area Managers, which perform tests and maintain a list of alerts on remote systems, use an SNMP agent to externalize the list of alerts to the Central Network Management Stations (CNMS). In this way, the Distributed Rovers can be deployed and connected across a wide-area network. Locating the Area Managers topologically closer to the devices being monitored decreases the likelihood of packet loss from intermediate network failures, and lowers network management bandwidth requirements. In addition, the Distributed Rovers can be split along administrative boundaries, such as AS's, making it possible for networks to share aggregated network management information. NOCs can then "view" one another's alert screens, making it much easier to operate backup NOCs and share NOC services. For more information about the new Rover code, see: http://www.merit.edu/internet.tools/rover/ A new mailing list provides a forum for user feedback to the Rover developers.

Bill Norton, Jake Khuon, and Abha Ahuja of the RSng staff attended a PacBell NAP open house. Route Servers managed by the Route Server Next Generation project (www.rsng.net/) are up and running at the Digital Internet Exchange and the AADS, MAE-West, MAE-East interconnection points, in addition to the PacBell NAP.

The notes discuss many aspects of computing and computer communication focusing in networking protocols, procedures, programs, and concepts, but also including meeting notes, opinion, and sometimes humor. The specification documents of the Internet protocol suite, as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its steering group (the IESG), are published as RFCs. RFCs-to-be are edited by the RFC Editor. RFCs enter the RFC Editor's work queue either by an action of the IESG or by independent submission. Most independent submissions are referred to the IESG to check for overlap with IETF work. The IESG might put a hold on a document to gather more input from its members. The wait for an RFC to be published varies as there can be unforeseen complications (typically editorial matters that need clarification from the author). Documents can be removed from the publication queue if they are found to be insufficient or incorrect or if the IESG asks the author to join work already in progress in the IETF.

I do think we need a canonical output to support some of the legal use cases.
What the heck is a "legal use case"? Do you have any evidence of a law anywhere that says "the canonical format for publishing must be displayable"?
Patent disputes and the like. One version says XYZ and another version says XZ because of some formatting glitch. What the exact definition of the technology?
We (both the list and Heather with input from IETF legal) have come to the conclusion that exact formatting isn't an issue as long as the content is the same (which is a technical problem and so we should be able to deal with it).
Just for a change, and some entertainment, I'd like to tell you about a court case that I was involved with that indeed at one point dealt with a formatting issue. If you look at the encoding table at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-duerst-dns-i18n-02#section-3.2, you'll notice that the column headings and the columns don't match. The same problem appears in draft-duerst-dns-i18n-01, but the table at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-duerst-dns-i18n-00#section-3.2 has it right.
During a deposition, this layout issue (which I somehow never was aware of, otherwise of course I'd have fixed it) and the fact that the patent involved used the same layout as draft -02 were shown to me. I was asked what I'd think about it, and I explained that to anybody understanding what's going on it was immediately clear that the layout in -00 was correct, and the others were weird. I think I also said that it was strange that in the patent, this problem wasn't detected and fixed.
As far as I am aware, that case never went to court, and so I'm not sure how much of a contribution to the case this formatting problem was. But if anything, it certainly didn't give a good impression of the patent.
Regards, Martin.
@rjsparks Thanks for the detailed explanations! @cabo Thanks for the very quick and thorough digging through your email archives!
Describe the issue
In relation to a recent email discussion, I had a look at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-duerst-dns-i18n/, and discovered that it shows the numbered drafts in the wrong order, with wrong publication dates.
As shown on https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-duerst-dns-i18n/: -00 Dec 1996 -02 Jul 1997 -01 Mar 1998
Correct (according to https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-duerst-dns-i18n-XX.txt): -00 Dec 1996 -01 Jul 1997 -02 Jul 1998
So the order is wrong, and while it looks like the second date is taken from the second draft, the date of the third draft in the list (-01) seems to be taken out of thin air.
I'm not too concerned about this specific draft, but the problem should be investigated and fixed because it may be more general.
