The document provides best practices related to identification in a text and automated creation of hyperlinks containing domain names and email addresses in non-ASCII scripts. It can be helpful for software developers implementing linkification mechanisms. The document also includes some proposals on how to behave if script mixing is detected in any label of the domain name .
