Folks -
It's either time to put a stake through the heart of this DNS vampire
that rises from the grave every 6 months, or to push it for
publication. Given that in 8 years it has yet to gain enough traction
for publication, perhaps we de-adopt the draft back into the caring
hands of its author? E.g. - back to draft-kumari-something. Or
contribute to some flowers for a final burial?
In any event, having looked at this for the first time thanks to the
announcement, and reading the proposed use, why isn't this reserving
something like "%ALT" or some other string containing an illegal DNS
character?
Later, Mike
