Status: Rejected
Type: Technical

Reported by: Ulrich Windl <[email protected]>
Date Reported: 2026-02-27
Rejected by: Mohamed Boucadair (IESG) (IESG)

Section: 2.2

Original Text
-------------
(...)
SvcParamKeys SHALL appear in increasing numeric order.

Clients MUST consider an RR malformed if:

the end of the RDATA occurs within a SvcParam.
SvcParamKeys are not in strictly increasing numeric order.
(...)

Corrected Text
--------------
(...)
SvcParamKeys MUST appear in increasing numeric order.

Clients MUST consider an RR malformed if:

the end of the RDATA occurs within a SvcParam.
SvcParamKeys are not in strictly increasing numeric order.
(...)

Notes
-----
The protocol will only be successful if the DNS server must provide the 
SvcParamKeys in increasing numeric order, because the client will consider them 
malformed otherwise.
Usually the principle "be strict what you send, but be liberal in what you 
accept" seems reversed here.
 --VERIFIER NOTES-- 

Per RFC2119:

1. MUST This word, or the terms "REQUIRED" or "SHALL", mean that the
definition is an absolute requirement of the specification.
