And the I-D is a good document. On the other hand, I have a few questions: the first one, why "Proposed standard"? Is it really a good idea to standardize these lists (most being badly managed)? Why not just "Informational" if we just want to document what people are doing? Second question, the document indeed standardizes many things which are not in common use but does not point towards a rationale, so some choices are puzzling. Why TXT records to point to an URL and not NAPTR? Is this because of current usage in DNSxL? If so, this should be noted. But why IPv6 lists use a A record and not a AAAA? I am not aware of existing IPv6 lists so this cannot be the current usage? _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
