Re: [ietf-provreg] EPP Extensions for IDN

[James Gould <jgould@verisign.com>]

We created a custom IDN extension that takes the language tag with the
assumption that the domain:name is being passed in punycode.  The following
is the XML schema for out extension:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 
   <schema targetNamespace="http://www.verisign.com/epp/idnLang-1.0"
          xmlns:idnLang="http://www.verisign.com/epp/idnLang-1.0"
          xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
          elementFormDefault="qualified">
 
    <annotation>
      <documentation>
         Extensible Provisioning Protocol v1.0 domain name
         extension schema for IDN Lang Tag.
      </documentation>
    </annotation>
 
   <!--
   Child elements found in EPP commands.
   -->
     <element name="tag" type="language"/>
 
  
 
   <!--
   End of schema.
   -->
</schema>
