I've been following this discussion for a while now, and while it pains me to object to something that would lessen my own workload, I find that I have to agree with Keith about this. The stability problems associated with DNS names are just too great. [snip]

I disagree, but I understand your position.

Exactly. Given the huge amount of damage that's been inflicted on the world by badly designed media types, I am forced to see further reduction of the barriers as a reckless step in the wrong direction.

If, as I mentioned to Keith, we patched Mark's draft to have the *exact same* IETF review requirements as the vendor or personal trees, then wouldn't that suffice? I really think that the only disagreement here is about the use of DNS. Mark. -- Mark Baker. Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA. http://www.markbaker.ca
