My proposal for an SRV prefix to be defined for LDAP PKIX repositories is currently held up because of a series of issues that all have to do with the administration of issuing SRV prefixes and the SRV mechanism itself. In order to answer these objections I will have to spend quite a lot of time to compile a reply which has absolutely nothing to do with the technology and to the extend that there is a technology issue the question concerns the working of the SRV mechanism rather than the proposal. I don't think that I should have to fix SRV in order to get a prefix assignment. I don't think I should have to suggest administravia either. There should be a uniform policy here and it should have come from DNSEXT not PKIX. In every other forum I simply make up the SRV prefixes myself and stick them in the draft. The chance of accidental collision is insignificant. There are far more Windows applications than Internet communication protocols yet people seem to be able to cope with a 3 letter filetype extension astonishingly well. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
