Remember that we're working on 7483bis precisely because of issues like this. 7483 doesn't explicitly say that the structure is REQUIRED, but in my opinion it needs to be there so that clients know what to expect in terms of response data structures. 7483bis says this: "This data structure MUST appear in the topmost JSON object of a response" Scott _______________________________________________ regext mailing list regext@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/regext
