Sorry to pick up this discussion from three years ago, but I was
wondering: has this language ever made it into an "official" IETF
publication? It's not in RFC 5733, and there's no successor for RFC 5733
either. Currently, the only way to find this online is via this mailing
list's archive.

I'm asking because, as a registrar, we're still seeing lots of different
contact update implementations in the wild, and even larger registries
seem to be struggling with getting this right.

Best regards,

Thomas Corte
