    Re: iSCSI 4.1 & 4.2




    Mark,

    I thought that this will be handled within NDT and I will see the end-result.
    I can't make the reference before looking at the list of characters for conflicts and scan dead-ends.

    Julian-

    The specification is at

    http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-string-prep-00.txt

    It would be better to reference the specification rather than attempt
    to add the individual characters to iSCSI; the point
    of the separate specification is to leverage the same work that
    the IDN folks are doing.
