Hi.

Just FYI, I just posted a lengthy note to the IETF list on the
downgrade Last Call (deliberately late, as the note indicates).
It supports publishing the document as Experimental, but reviews
all of the reasons why EAI might be a lot cleaner and simpler
with a traditional "either the address is deliverable or it is
not" model rather than in-transit downgrading.

I didn't cross-post it here because I use different addresses
for the two lists.

I've said all of this before (although at more length to the
design team than the WG); none of it should come as any surprise
to anyone who has been following the WG's work.

A summary of the suggestion in the note is that 

* The document should be published as Experimental; if we are
going to support in-transit downgrading, it is probably the best
that can be done.

* During the experiment period, the community should review
costs and benefits very carefully, especially wrt interactions
with the non-EAI-aware systems with which downgrading is
expected to help, leakage of the new address forms to older
systems and how the latter react, relative costs of
implementation, etc.

best new year's wishes to all.
      best,
      john

Hello John,

As far as I'm aware of, all the documents from this WG
so far have been published as experimental (or informational
for those that don't specify any kind of protocol or format).

Are you saying that downgrade should be even more
experimental than experimental? Or that you think
that while the others should go to proposed in a
next round, that shouldn't apply to downgrade?
Or what?

Regards,     Martin.

Yes.  I note that documents from an IETF WG are published as
Experimental for at least two different reasons:

	(i) To get a chance to demonstrate that they work, for
	any values of "work" that may be relevant.  The
	expectation is that once that demonstration completes,
	the results can be evaluated, the protocols adjusted as
	needed, and decisions made that would lead to
	standards-track publication of a revision/update.
	
	(ii) To publish them as what, in another SDO, are
	jokingly referred to as "substandards" --not ready for
	standardization-- with the expectation that they will
	never advance further.

I certainly believe that the entire EAI package, including
downgrade, falls into the first group.

I take the classification of "experimental" seriously -- as an
opportunity to get a specification (or collection of
specifications) published in solid, public, form to assist in
generating interoperable implementations and testing and
evaluating them.  I think those evaluations actually ought to
occur and that it is a flaw in the IETF procedures that
experimental documents do not require a statement about
evaluation periods... and an automatic move to Historic if the
evaluations are not completed and published within a set period
of time.  A corollary to that is that I don't believe the second
group above should exist at all.   However, please note that I
have been making both of those suggestions for around 20 years
now and have gotten nowhere -- for better or worse, we are stuck
with ad hoc arrangements in which some Experimental
specifications are evaluated much more carefully than others.

What I'm suggesting is that Downgrade --and the EAI suite
including Downgrade-- should be evaluated very carefully and
that the evaluation should include what I see as a very explicit
tradeoff between:

	(1) With Downgrade in its present form, some messages
	are going to get through that would not otherwise go
	through.  Some subset of those messages are going to
	arrive without information loss and the recipient (or
	agents intermediate between the delivery MTA and the
	recipient) will be able to deduce and reconstruct the
	form of the original message.   We don't know how many
	messages that would otherwise be undeliverable will get
	through as a result of having Downgrade, nor do we know
	what level of information loss will occur.  We also
	don't know how much the "<non-ascii-string
	<ascii-string>>" will leak into non-EAI environments
	(although experience with email predicts "quite a lot",
	nor what problems such leakage will cause. The answers
	to those questions are obviously part of the experiment.
	
	(2) Without Downgrade in its present form,
	implementation of EAI becomes easier, perhaps even
	vastly easier.  The "<non-ascii-string <ascii-string>>"
	syntax disappears, as does the collection of
	"Downgraded" headers, so we don't need to worry about
	their effects or about long-term clutter to the
	protocols or syntax.  We don't know whether easier and
	less complex implementation will lead to more
	implementations, earlier implementations, or to fewer
	bugs and interoperability problems than would occur with
	those full-Downgrade implementations.    We also don't
	know how many implementations will choose the shortcut
	path -- rejecting messages requiring downgrading rather
	than going through the downgrade procedure.  The answers
	to those questions may be, and are likely to remain,
	more speculative than those above, but they are also
	obviously part of the experiment.

That is a more or less classic engineering design tradeoff
issue, with one set of advantages being on a somewhat different
scale than the other, i.e., putting them on a single scale is
hard or impossible without biasing the outcome.  It is also
typical of such tradeoffs in the real world, because full
information is simply not available or likely to become
available.   We just need to gather what information we can and
make a educated guesses.  I am suggesting that the tradeoff is
important and that those guesses should be as educated, and
data-based, as possible.

When we got started with the EAI work, our hypothesis was that
Downgrading was both necessary and reasonably straightforward.
We've learned that it was less straightforward than we expected,
that the number of cases in which it could be applied were fewer
than expected (e.g., the requirement that all non-ASCII
addresses be associated with alternate forms).   We also had not
seriously considered the mailing list issues, nor anticipated
the conclusion we seem to have reached.   On the other side of
things, we probably have a better understanding of the ways in
which the need to downgrade can, and cannot, be controlled by
careful and thoughtful system configuration.  

Give that, the question of "is this particular feature really
worth the trouble" is one that we have properly not asked since
EAI was chartered.  I believe that it is one that we should
start asking seriously as soon as Downgrade is approved, with
the complexity of that specification and its interactions with
the other specifications as part of the data.

My note was simply a plea that the community ask it and a
heads-up that the question was important.  That doesn't make
Downgrade any different from any other Experimental spec except
that someone has explicitly proposed evaluation criteria other
than "implement it and see if it interworks with cooperating
implementations".

Now, if what you are really asking about is my personal
opinion... At this point, I believe we would be better off 

	* without Downgrade as specified
	* pushing for rapid implementation and deployment of an
	  internationalized email solution that is free of
	  in-transit downgrading and the associated syntax,
	  header, digital signature, etc., issues
	* concentrating our efforts on address downgrading
	  procedures that could be applied at the endpoints -- 
     the sending MUA or submission MTA and after SMTP final
	  delivery, rather than figuring out how to make
	  in-transit work
	* getting more specific about the cases in which
	  in-transit downgrading might be needed and how they can
	  best be avoided by careful configuration.

Some of those statements argue strongly for revisiting and
publishing the Scenarios document, perhaps in the form of an
"operational hints" document.

But those are just personal beliefs.  Worse, they are based on
some speculative reasoning.  My main interest at this point is a
careful and fair experimental and evaluation process that gives
us more information about risks and tradeoffs.

Does that answer your question?

      john

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Email Address Internationalization Working Group of the IETF.


	Title           : Downgrading mechanism for Email Address Internationalization
	Author(s)       : K. Fujiwara, Y. Yoneya
	Filename        : draft-ietf-eai-downgrade-11.txt

	Date            : 2009-01-20

Traditional mail systems handle only ASCII characters in SMTP
envelope and mail header fields.  The Email Address
Internationalization (UTF8SMTP) extension allows UTF-8 characters in
SMTP envelope and mail header fields.  To avoid rejecting
internationalized Email messages when a server in the delivery path
does not support the UTF8SMTP extension, some sort of converting
mechanism is required.  This document describes a downgrading
mechanism for Email Address Internationalization.  Note that this is
a way to downgrade, not tunnel.  There is no associated up-conversion
mechanism, although internationalized email clients might use
original internationalized addresses or other data when displaying or
replying to downgraded messages.

The YAM (Yet Another Mail) Working Group is having its first meeting
this Thursday at 3:10pm.

The first part of the charter is reproduced here. The full charter text
can be found at http://trac.tools.ietf.org/bof/trac/wiki/YamCharter

	Tony Hansen
	co-chair

YAM will focus strictly on advancing email-related specifications for
which the community already has some years of experience with deployment
and interoperability. Its function is not to reopen or reconsider
protocols -- if a specification is found to need significant technical
work, YAM will remove it from the WG's agenda, optionally making a
recommendation to the community about how, or if, it should be processed.

This charter's scope of work is the set of email-related RFCs that are
currently at Draft Standard. Each document will be examined, along with
its errata, and a recommendation made as to whether it should be
advanced to Full Standard, republished at Draft Standard or Proposed
Standard, or moved to Historic. This working group will not work further
on documents that are to be republished at Draft Standard or Proposed
Standard.

Can someone tell me you YAM relates to IMA/EAI?  Eg: Are they going to cons=
ider the direction of EAI when considering if these drafts should become st=
andards?

I could easily imagine that some should have SHOULDs encouraging UTF-8 or a=
t least awareness of international limitations...

No, I don't think YAM will consider any EAI documents, until EAI 
documents become Proposed Standards.
But naturally, there is big overlap in participation between EAI and 
YAM, so I think the right thing would happen.

Also YAM is not tasked to do any syntactic changes to existing email RFCs.

This is in a gray area, but it would be worth raising in the YAM BOF.

I wonder: Is a standard with "international limitations" allowed to be prom=
oted to Full Standard?
But, let's pick it up during the BOF.

I am unable to participate, but it'd be nice if this was discussed :)

Thanks,

I wonder: Is a standard with "international limitations" allowed to be prom=
oted to Full Standard?
But, let's pick it up during the BOF.

STD 10, for example, is a widely deployed protocol and has been 
around for over a decade.  As there is already a WG working on email 
internationalization, the "standard with international limitations" 
isn't a compelling reason against promoting the Draft Standards 
identified by the YAM WG to Full Standard.

Yes, 30 years is more than a decade :-)

Traditional mail systems handle only ASCII characters in SMTP
envelope and mail header fields.  The Email Address
Internationalization (UTF8SMTP) extension allows UTF-8 characters in
SMTP envelope and mail header fields.  To avoid rejecting
internationalized email messages when a server in the delivery path
does not support the UTF8SMTP extension, some sort of converting
mechanism is required.  This document describes a downgrading
mechanism for Email Address Internationalization.  Note that this is
a way to downgrade, not tunnel.  There is no associated up-conversion
mechanism, although internationalized email clients might use
original internationalized addresses or other data when displaying or
replying to downgraded messages.  This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.

This document is a product of the Email Address Internationalization Working Group of the IETF.
