+ It is derived from the Zone ID using the Crockford Base32
encoding <xref target="CrockfordB32"/> but we decode the letter "U" to
the same Base32 value as the letter "V" in order to further increase
tolerance for failures in character recognition.

- If "zkl" is less than 63 characters, it is also the "zTLD".
- If the resulting "zkl" should be longer than 63 characters, the
- string must be divided into smaller labels separated by the label
- separator ".". Here, the most significant bytes of the "zid" must be contained
