This is one thing the existing mbox encoding got > wrong. I understand that. My questions should perhaps be better put as - why should there be a distinct namespace for mapped email addresses? I see Joe has provided one reason (which doesn't appear to make sense to me since a large RRType can't be 'hidden' lower down), but my point is that there isn't a reason in the draft. - why should that distinct namespace have a 1 to 1 link with the RR that it will contain? This I think is something quite novel and worth a lot more discussion. cheers Jay > >> Joe >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> dnsext mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsext > -- > Mark Andrews, ISC > 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia > PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: [email protected] -- Jay Daley Chief Executive .nz Registry Services (New Zealand Domain Name Registry Limited) desk: +64 4 931 6977 mobile: +64 21 678840 linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/jaydaley _______________________________________________ dnsext mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsext
