Top-Level Reserved Names and draft Liman RFC document

["Dominic Sayers" <dominic@xxxxxxx>]

The string requirements for gTLDs (section 2.2.1.3.2) have been compiled
with recognition of the revisions to RFC 1123 in draft form here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-liman-tld-names-04

 

However, the list of Top-Level Reserved Names in section 2.2.1.2 includes
the following reserved names:

 

GTLD-SERVERS

IANA-SERVERS

RFC-EDITOR

ROOT-SERVERS

 

These names are not valid ASCII TLD labels according to the draft RFC, which
contains the following ABNF:

 

             traditional-tld-label = 1*63(ALPHA)

 

             ALPHA    = %x41-5A / %x61-7A   ; A-Z / a-z

 

The hyphens in these names are not part of the allowed character set defined
by the token ALPHA.
