Hello Mario, The way you explain "unregistered" below indicates an entry that is presently not in the IANA registry. Perhaps we could evolve that statement as:
Servers MUST NOT provide or implement reverse searches or reverse search mappings that are not registered with IANA. The dictionary definition of "unregistered" returns "not officially recognized and recorded." So, in that sense, you are spot on with the original statement. The "un" prefix in "unregistered" threw me off, as in an act of undoing something. I'd be good with the original statement now but wonder if it could confuse someone else.

(Assuming > the word "unregistered" is being used above for such entries.) [ML] Personally, the entries of both the registries can never be updated. As I said in my previous reply, unregistered doesn't mean removed/deprecated once registered but just not yet included in the registry. [JS] just not yet included in the registry" ... Do we mean here not including that unregistered entry on the RDAP server side (DNRs and RIRs)? Neither I see a particular need for specifying in the registry that an entry gets obsolete. In that case, the property or the mapping will not be included in the reverse_search_properties or reverse_search_properties_mapping, respectively. Hope I clarified my previous comment. [JS] It might help to clarify further in the doc what "unregistered" means, using the above verbiage. But then it could just be me getting confused by that term. :) Your call in the end. _______________________________________________ regext mailing list regext@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/regext
