Just a quick heads up that a couple of new RFCs[1][2] update RFC
5280 w.r.t. i18n support.

[1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8398
[2] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8399

The most notable change is a new otherName type to represent
internationalised email addresses (i.e. when the local part is not
ASCII).  I have filed a ticket[3] to support this in FreeIPA (no
Dogtag changes are needed).  I don't think it is urgent, but
eventually someone will ask for it.

Thanks,
Fraser
