Nice attempt but, as I have already said <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsop/current/msg07058.html>, there is zero technical reason to limit the TLD to alphabetic characters and therefore, the rule: traditional-tld-label = 1*63(ALPHA) is both a new rule (it was not in RFC 1034 or 1035) and a bad one. I object to the creation of new rules disguised as clarifications. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
