I have an issue with the “Query Parameters Considered Harmful” section in draft-ietf-regext-rdap-x-media-type, where query parameters are used in the base RDAP RFCs as well as other RDAP extensions including the Versioning Extension.  If use of query parameters should be discouraged in RDAP, it should be moved from draft-ietf-regext-rdap-x-media-type to draft-ietf-regext-rdap-extensions.  I personally don’t agree that the use of query parameters in RDAP should be considered “harmful”, but it can be pointed out in draft-ietf-regext-rdap-extensions that query parameters may not be preserved via redirects.  An author of an RDAP extension that has the need for client input can take into consideration that query parameters may not be presented via redirects while creating the extension.  I don’t view this as unique to the passing of the desired set of extensions in the RDAP query.

I see your point here. That language should be changed because it is too broad. I put an issue for that in the tracker [1]. Also, it needs to point to the language in the rdap-extensions draft.

WRT to normative use of the versioning extension, I have a tracking issue here [2].
