I am not quite sure I understand, are you saying an Internet standard is not a
norm?
The verification code normalizes and facilitates the behavior that is
potentially violating the human and privacy rights of registrants.
Similar behavior might exists, but not in this way. This status code makes it
easier and standardizes it, and thus facilitates and enables it.
Therefore I think it should not be standardized, but if we do, we should at
least say something about these inherent risks in implementation.
Best,
Niels
