There is no reason to leave this unspecified. A well-known suffix would only 
appear once, so we can tighten up the draft here, thanks :-)

The implementor would need to check the IANA registration to determine this. 
For instance the posh registration might allow "/.well-known/posh/spice.json” 
so the SVCB well-known parameter would be:

well-known=posh/spice.json

We can add this as an example.

We can look and see if a note is needed, it would suggest that we perhaps say 
something along the lines of values for well-known MUST be available at the 
service, again we’ll take a look at this section.

Thanks for that, we think it is the best choice.

Appreciated the feedback, Jim
