Subject:
[ietf-provreg] host attributes
I think we can safely declare consensus on the host attributes issue,
with a chair-requested adjustment from the message Scott sent:
http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2003-04/msg00028.html
(and the followup from Frederico: "Here there is a missing
<domain:hostAttr> or I'm misunderstanding something ?", or course.)
The one change I request, in the name of remaining non-IPv4 specific
is to add to the example a IPv6 address example....
# Example domain attributes that describe host machines:
#
...
# <domain:hostAddr ip="v4">192.0.2.2</domain:hostAddr>
> <domain:hostAddr ip="v6">fe80::1</domain:hostAddr>
...
The MX RR issue will be left to extensions for the time being.
Scott, could you add a paragraph to the document to summarize why
only address records appear as domain attributes. My experience with
the DNS documents is that it is good to document the non-features too.
