Additional Information from the README:

The library contains a generic Stringprep implementation that does
Unicode 3.2 NFKC normalization, mapping and prohibitation of characters,
and bidirectional character handling. Profiles for iSCSI, Kerberos 5,
Nameprep, SASL and XMPP are included. Punycode and ASCII Compatible
Encoding (ACE) via IDNA are supported.    

The Stringprep API consists of two main functions, one for converting
data from the system's native representation into UTF-8, and one
function to perform the Stringprep processing. Adding a new Stringprep
profile for your application within the API is straightforward. The
Punycode API consists of one encoding function and one decoding
function. The IDNA API consists of the ToASCII and ToUnicode functions,
as well as an high-level interface for converting entire domain names to
and from the ACE encoded form.
