=> IMHO "A SHOULD be used, but B MAY be used" without a complete list of cases where B SHOULD be used (i.e., the exceptions) is inherently ambiguous. > Unusually, we deliberately _are_ recommending using an IP address > over an FQDN but allowing both => I understand the idea but IMHO the wording is not the right one (i.e., SHOULD is too strong). > and the reasoning for preferring an IP address is self > evident from additional complexity in the succeeding sentences. => the succeeding sentences are about support (where SHOULD+MAY don't conflict). Thanks francis.dup...@fdupont.fr PS: there are (at least) two ways to solve this: - to ignore my comment (I put it into editorial comments to allow this solution, the other choice was to make a minor point with a high probability to see a DISCUSS about the point :-). - to get some advice from the list as I shall be very surprised it is the first case we have a conflict for a SHOULD+MAY about use. _______________________________________________ Gen-art mailing list Gen-art@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/gen-art
