COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

Thank you for this document.  I have two minor comments:

2.1.2.  Representing Subsetting Links

            "value": "https://example.com/rdap/domains?name=*nr.com
                      &fieldSet=afieldset",

Should "afieldset" be "anotherfieldset"?

[ML] In web linking (RFC8288), the "value" field contains the context URI and the "target" field contains the target URI in a given relation with the context URI.

In Figure 2, the context URI is the current view of the results provided according to the current field set (i.e. "afieldset") while the target URI is an alternative view provided according another field set (i.e. "anotherieldset")


5.  Negative Answers

    Each request including an empty or unsupported "fieldSet" value MUST
    produce an HTTP 400 (Bad Request) response code.  Optionally, the
    response MAY include additional information regarding the negative
    answer in the HTTP entity body.

Given the solution suggests that subsetting metadata may be included in
positive responses, it might be helpful to also include similar metadata in
negative responses.  I.e. rather than just stating that a fieldSet is invalid,
perhaps there should be a recommendation that the response include the list of
possible valid values that fieldSet may take?

[ML] I think this pertains to the server policy. RDAP (RFC7483) allows producers to provide consumers with additional information in error responses through "notices" and "notices" can include "links".

Definitively, I would keep the fully compliance with the error response structure defined in RFC7483.


Looking forward to your reply to my comments.

Best,

Mario


Regards,
Rob
