RE: Exentisibility in the requirements
FWIW there _is_ a section in the draft (section 7.5) describing extensibility requirements. <Scott/> -----Original Message----- From: Edward Lewis [mailto:lewis@tislabs.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2001 12:55 PM To: ietf-provreg@cafax.se Cc: lewis@tislabs.com Subject: Exentisibility in the requirements With this talk about merging provreg and whois, it seems to me that some folks have gotten the impression that provreg is limited to domain names. Provreg is looking at domain names in the near term with an eye towards other data types in the future. That is what the charter says. Perhaps the current requirements document does not reflect this. The current requirements document is focused at domain names because of the near-term effort. Perhaps the requirements need to strenghten the notion that the protocol must be extensible. I would enourage anyone who feels that the requirements document is too domain- name-centric submit comments and words to reflect that domain names are just a current focus, more work is to follow. I don't want to bog the requirements document in discussion of other data types but rather strongly recognize that other data types will be considered in the future. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis NAI Labs Phone: +1 443-259-2352 Email: lewis@tislabs.com Dilbert is an optimist.
