Hi, See below at @@@.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frank Ellermann Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 1:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Int-area] 2606bis localhost and IPv6 Hi, the 2606bis draft proposes to modify the following three paragraphs among others: ... === old === ".test" is recommended for use in testing of current or new DNS related code. === new === ".test" is RECOMMENDED for use in testing of current or new DNS related code. Applications SHOULD treat ".test" like any other TLD; a special handling could defeat the purpose of a test. === end === The interesting bit is the SHOULD, the RECOMMENDED is only a side-effect of using RFC 2119 key words. For .invalid it's a MAY: @@@ A problem I see is that "RECOMMENDED", in connection with .test, implies that you should not deviate from it but 2606bis defines additional testing TLDs. @@@ Thanks, @@@ Donald ... See <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ellermann-idnabis-tests-tlds> for the added IDN test TLDs, and extended security considerations.
