I wouldn't say my feelings are strong, but I think it's unnecessary. The reason we have IP addresses and domain names set aside for example use is that otherwise anything we put in documents might wind up in actual use and result in nuisance traffic or worse. If we publish an example of .well-known in some document and decide to use "frobozz" for the example, and "frobozz" some day winds up in actual use, what's the harm. Also, how useful is it to have exactly one example string? Maybe we'd need to assign anything that begins with "example-" as a reserved string. And then we're not far from "X-", and we know where that got us.[RFC6648] Barry _______________________________________________ Gen-art mailing list Gen-art@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/gen-art
