Subject:
format of contents of <domain:curExpDate>
Hi, In draft-ietf-provreg-epp-domain-05, section 3.2.3 "EPP <renew> Command", the required format of the characters within the <domain:curExpDate> element is not specified. The example which follows contains an element whose contents are formatted as "YYYY-MM-DD", but no reference is made to this in the text. The XML Schema defines the contents as "date", if I'm reading that right, but "date" doesn't appear to be defined within the schemas presented in the EPP and domain mapping drafts, so that's not helping me. Elsewhere (e.g. in the <qDate> element described in draft-ietf-provreg-epp-07) dates are required to be in RFC3339 format. It would seem to serve the cause of consistency if this format was also adopted for <domain:curExpDate>, perhaps with a requirement for servers to also support YYYY-MM-DD to accommodate deployed code based on earlier drafts. Whatever the format turns out to be, it would be a good thing if the nature of the contents of <domain:curExpDate> could be clearly specified in the domain mapping document. Joe
