Eric,
we will use the enhanced version 2.0 (March 2001) of the old CORE SRS
protocol (1999), which is based on simple key value pairs.
The main reason is that the functional specs for SITA were negotiated in
spring 2001 and the contracts between CORE and SITA are based on these
specs. Moreover, it was planned that the registrar functions are not only
done by ICANN registrars. Therefore the technical barriers on the
registrars site should be very low.
Admittedly, this is by no means cutting edge technology, but we needed a
compromise between ease of use and capability of expression for the
protocol.
Best regards,
Elmar
