Question for the Exim team. It seems you have code for converting
UTF-8 localparts to ASCII. What encoding do you use for that? I
am not aware of anything in EAI that standardises such an encoding.
It seems that Microsoft has an ad-hoc ASCII encoding for UTF-8
localparts, are you using the same one? They use "xl--" followed
by the Punycode encoding of the localpart.

Are we heading towards a de-facto standard here? Or just multiple
ad-hoc approaches.
