Fair enough.

Hmm, this sounds a little like wanting to have it both ways. I understand where the language came from, but the upshot of it is an implementation requirement on resolvers. I mean, if one way of meeting the MUST requirement is to implement what is specified in [tor-rendezvous], doesn’t that make [tor-rendezvous] precisely meet the definition of a normative reference? On the other hand, I don’t see anything in 6761 that says the answers to the questions need to be normatively specified. So maybe the text for #3 would make more sense if it is said "Resolvers that do not respond to requests for .onion names by resolving them according to [tor-rendezvous] MUST respond with NXDOMAIN.” Alissa > > >> >> _______________________________________________ >> DNSOP mailing list >> DNSOP@ietf.org >> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop >> > > _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
