Re: [OSPF] Last Call: draft-ietf-ospf-dynamic-hostname (Dynamic Hostname Exchange Mechanism for OSPF) to Proposed Standard

Group,

	Here are a few stupid/nit questions,

		1) What do you do with host naming collisions?

		2) Is a blank "string" blank equal to a "string"?

		3) Is the hostname case sensitive?

		4) Since the hostnames are "human readable", would
		    a backspace within the name make logical sense?
		
		5) Don't some system implement x chars per tab,
		    then how do we show a consistent hostname?

		6) If bell is included, does the system need to create
		    a sound each time the name is displayed?

		7) If the router is localized to a different country, wouldn't
		    a logical hostname representation be able to support
		    multi-character and multi-byte foreign languages?

		8) Underline support?

		Thus, IMO, someone needs to re-write part of this to equal
		http(s) URL type representation? or only alphanumeric chars

		And specify some sort of left/right printing justification and
		a way to deal with non printable chars..
