Let me try again... As I see the process, draft-ietf-homenet-dot-03 defines the protocol behaviors for ".homenet". draft-ietf-homenet-dot-03 requests an entry in the root zone for .homent and an entry in the special-use names registry. While those two actions are related, and the entry in the special-use names registry may describe behavior that depends on the entry in the root zone, I think of the request for the entry in the root zone as coming explicitly from draft-ietf-homenet-dot-03 rather than implicitly from the entry in the special-use names registry. The point I'm trying to make is that making the entry in the special-use names registry is not a back door to an entry in the root zone. The request for the entry in the root zone has to be explicit; in this case, in draft-ietf-homenet-dot-03. - Ralph > > Best regards, > > A > > -- > Andrew Sullivan > a...@anvilwalrusden.com > > _______________________________________________ > 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
