Hi, I have just joined the IETF mailing list. I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but I think it's the place to start. This is with reference to the RFC-2229 on Dictionary Server Protocol (Oct, 1997). I have some updations to the protocol and I would like to put them up for discussion. What is all that I need to do so? Do I need to post the completed new RFC as I have with updates or should I put only updates? What should be the format of the updates? Would a plain text attachment with updates do? In a nutshell, the updates include the following: - Defining character sets (esp, support for unicode) - Defining locales (support for non en_US dictionaries) - Defining output formats (support for XML format besides current plain text) - Extensions to the current method of defining and matching words (with support for references to other words in same or other dictionaries) - Support to list full dictionary-words - Updates to the current URL form. - Updates to how the interaction happens (esp the initial server response, getting capabilities, server info, supported charsets, available locales etc) I would be better posting only updates. ;-) NB: I have CC'ed the original authors. -- Cheers, Gaurav Vaish http://www.mastergaurav.org http://mastergaurav.blogspot.com -------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
