Hi,

A quick review of the Internet-Drafts index indicates that at least
the following groups are doing (one or more) Stringprep profiles:

- IPS iSCSI
- LDAPbis
- SASL
- XMPP
- IDNA

The SLP Project (no longer IETF chartered) is also looking at
Stringprep for service URL and service attribute comparisons.

Cheers,

You need not bundle stringprep/nameprep/idna all in one big lump.  I think
stringprep could very well (and should, IMHO) be updated right now, so that
new profiles can use all of 4.0.  But I agree that IDNA should not bite the
bullet too hastily.
