One comment on the draft itself. While I think I can understand the need, I still feel very uneasy by the solution of tackling two values together by a given separator. In fact it shows even in the history of the document, where you had to change the separator multiple times. Even beside the fact that tilde looks like a dash inferior lookalike, I think that you would get problems whatever separator value is used. This shows in many sentences of the text. Were other solutions already explored? Like one the following two: - instead of adding the service provider to the current handle, why not having a new RDAP attribute, like handle_provider to store only this value? - or, even more radical, having the current handle element not a string anymore but a dictionary/map with one or two keys, like value (mandatory, would be the current text in the element) and provider (optional). Obviously these 2 solutions involve schema changes so are more difficult to put in place, but I see them are more future-proof. Sorry if I'm late to the game and I revisit already rehashed grounds.
