Some EPP Last Call Comments

["Hollenbeck, Scott" <shollenbeck@verisign.com>]

After the provreg WG's EPP documents finished WG last call, but before the
IESG's last call was issued, I received word of a few defects that should be
fixed and also a few requests for additions.  Here are links to the comments
made publicly, and text for those I received privately:

1. Category: Fix
http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2002-02/msg00032.html

In the epp-06 schema, this:

<element name="clTRID" type="epp:trIDStatusType"
 minOccurs="0"/>

should be changed to this:

<element name="clTRID" type="epp:trIDStatusType"
 minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

This will allow more than one element as described in the text.

2. Category: Fix
http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2002-03/msg00004.html

In the domain-04 schema, this element in the <info> response:

<element name="registrant" type="domain:contactType"
 minOccurs="0"/>

should be changed to this:

<element name="registrant" type="eppcom:clIDType"
 minOccurs="0"/>

This will make the data type correct in the <info> response.

3. Category: Requested Additions
http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2002-03/msg00006.html

A request to add an additional response code, additional statuses, and
explanatory text.

4. Category: Fix and Requested Addition
http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2002-03/msg00013.html

A fix to increase the length of the contact-04 postal code field from 10 to
16 characters, and a request to add an OPTIONAL field to better help explain
server error conditions.

5. Category: Documentation
I received a private suggestion to number document paragraphs that describe
elements in addition to indenting them to better help identify parent-child
relationships.

6. Category: Requested Addition
Patrik suggested a modification to the object <authInfo> structure such that
authentication mechanisms other than passwords could be defined in the
future without requiring change to an existing schema.  This can be done by
changing the <authInfo> data types slightly to accommodate namespace
extensions.
