Simple in its way, yes, but of course there still has to be packet parsing checks based on declared lengths. That's where I'm not seeing that SHOULD versus MUST is making any sort of meaningful implementation complexity difference. Also, when every byte counts for possibly having to end up doing tcp fallback, saving one might make a difference of not having to do that. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
