[JS] Fair point. But repeating for tighter extensions can only be helpful.

>> Section 4.4, paragraph 2
>> 3.  Extension specifications should strongly consider making the use of 
>> HTTPS with RDAP mandatory if appropriate.

> rfc7480 Section 7 mandates https supported by the server. So basically it is

```
Extension specifications SHOULD be very clear whether RDAP
requests and responses related to the extension can be exchanged
over an unencrypted http connection. Extension specification MUST
mandate use of HTTPS in its Security Considerations if unencrypted
http data exchange would pose security or privacy risks.
```

[JS] Thanks, would incorporate this verbiage.

>> But maybe a reference to rfc7481 is just enough.

[JS] Add that as well.
