The new definition of QNAME describes as equivalent two conflicting
definitions, the original one, in RFC 1034, and the one of RFC 2308,
which seems used only by this RFC. IMHO, we should keep only the RFC
1034 definition.
I filed an errata against RFC 2308
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=4983>
Notwithstanding your stubborn redefinition in 8020, the text in 2308
is correct and this erratum is wrong.
And to clarify, regardless of whether we agree on what the -right-
definition of QNAME is, your erratum breaks 2308. After the sentence you
replace, more sentences follow, and they no longer make sense after the
replacement. Furthermore, 2308 relies on the definition of QNAME as it
stands in 2308 today, so if you want to ‘fix’ the definition of
QNAME in 2308, you need to make a lot more edits to it. (which given the
terrible readability of 2308 is not the worst idea).
Kind regards,
