RE: Last-Verified Date Contact Element
Rick, Maybe I am slow in catching up with your thoughts here. So let me try to break down the issue into a series of questions. My goal is to understand exactly how that new element is going to be used. What type of contact object you have in your mind? Are you talking about contact objects that are linked to domains with outdated contact information or contact objects that are _not_ linked to any domains? If you are talking about the latter type, that is the garbage collection I mentioned in my previous emails. Your answer to this question will help clarify what this element is going to be used for.
