Vijay,
It would not obsolete rfc7285, but it would deprecate much of it. An
ALTO server would continue to provide network maps, cost maps, ECS,
EPS, etc, as in 7285.
Deprecating rfc7285 is not a viable option at this point, at least in my
opinion. I think this will add a level of uncertainty to pending work
that may be detrimental and slow down the progress that we witnessed at
the Berlin IETF.
I am not being obtuse, of course, just pragmatic.
But new work & extensions would use the new presentation scheme.
The new format resources can co-exist in the IRD with the rfc7285
resources. Ideally, an ALTO server would provide cost map resources
in both old & new formats, via different resource entries in the
IRD.
Ultimately whether to go this route is something that the WG will have
to decide collectively, but my personal opinion is that "here there be
dragons" :-)
Cheers,
