If we imagine that the vast majority of cases where people care about any of this are, collectively, "the web", then I think there are probably vanishingly few cases in which glibc's behaviour is relevant. If you think "the web" is not the motivation here, it would probably be helpful to spell out why you think that. > The man page of glibc cites RFC 3484 as the reason for the > ordering.

Updating the advice in 3484 is a more obvious option. Joe _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list -- dnsop@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to dnsop-le...@ietf.org
