Re: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ldapbis-strprep-04.txt

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.org>]

In this revision, the following substantive changes were made.

The term "combining mark" was more clearly defined.

A definitive lists of "all other control code points (e.g., Cc)
or code points with a control function (e.g., Cf)" and
"All other code points with Separator (space, line, or paragraph)
property" are now provided.

The Appendix B table, and mention of it, was removed as redundant.

Lists provided in the Prohibit step were replaced with
references to equivalent tables in [Stringprep].

The above changes clarify, but do not alter, the LDAPprep
algorithms.  Please verify correctness of all lists and
tables used.
