On http://www.iana.org/assignments/enum-services, most/some/recent entries lack an explicit reference to an RFC for the definition. All have some reference, the early ones (pre-RFC 4002) IANA (or someone) put in an RFC tag at the end of the registration record but in the later ones the reference is more oblique, such as this: # Enumservice Name: "XMPP" # Enumservice Type: "xmpp" # Enumservice Subtype: n/a # URI Schemes: "xmpp" # Functional Specification: # This Enumservice indicates that the resource identified is an XMPP # entity. # Security Considerations: see Section 6 of [RFC4979] # Intended Usage: COMMON # Author: (don't want to make it seem I'm picking on just this entry ;)) The only reference to an RFC here and in others is in the Security Considerations. I'd suggest that registrants make an explicit statement in the functional specification area indicating the RFC (number available when published of course) with the full specification. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis +1-571-434-5468 NeuStar Think glocally.
