Implementations should convert the local-part and the host-part of internationalized email addresses placed in these extensions to Unicode before display. 3. Security Considerations - Conforming CAs SHOULD ensure that IDNs are represented as valid - A-labels. This can be accomplished by taking a provided U-label, - validating the code points, converting it to an A-label, back to an - U-label, and then checking to see that the result is the same as the - original U-label.
