There is no formal limit on the length of the zone identifier string There is no formal limit on the length of the zone identifier string
in [RFC4007]. A UI implementation should apply an appropriate length in [RFC4007]. A UI implementation should apply an appropriate length
limit when inputting a zone identifier, in order to minimize the risk limit when inputting a zone identifier, in order to minimize the risk
of a buffer overrun. Typically, this limit would be the same as the of a buffer overrun. Typically, this limit would be the same as the
host operating system's limit on interface names. host operating system's limit on interface names.
[RFC4007] does not specify or restrict the character set allowed in a [RFC4007] does not specify or restrict the character set allowed in a
zone identifier. Therefore, each implementation processing zone zone identifier. Therefore, each implementation processing zone
identifiers needs to make checks appropriate for the environment it identifiers needs to make checks appropriate for the environment it

NULL characters in a zone identifier string as this could cause NUL characters in a zone identifier string as this could cause
inconsistencies in subsequent string processing. inconsistencies in subsequent string processing.
