While it is possible in the domain mapping (RFC 3731) to legally create an
update command that does nothing, there is still a sentence that requires
unnecessary XML (page 27, third paragraph from bottom):
At least one <domain:add>, <domain:rem>, or <domain:chg> element MUST
be provided.
So, RFC 3731 should be included in your considerations. When we discovered this
problem last year we decided to simply ignore this MUST in our server
implementation and to do not reject the command if such a condition occurs. I
don't see a reason for the prohibition of an "empty" update anyway.
Regards,
Klaus
