Re: RE: [ietf-provreg] New I/D: draft-hoeneisen-enum-validation-epp-0 0

Hi Scott, Bernie, folks,
   Hmm...
 From a quick look at the proposed validation EPP extension, this has
b*gg*r all to do with the epp-e164 draft.

This adds a tag for some opaque validation ID, together with a 
registrar ID.
That one, on the other hand, allowed some NAPTR content data to be 
piggy-backed
along with the domain object EPP transaction.

Now, YMMV, but I can understand why validation check data would be used 
in a
domain transaction, whilst I still have no idea why one would want to 
pass zone
content data along with the registration.

There is a reference to the main EPP documents in Bernie's draft, so I 
don't
understand the annoyance either. It must be me.

There have been considerable efforts in testing ENUM around the World 
->for real<-
(i.e. in most places with real delegations in e164.arpa.), and 
Validation Tokens
have been considered at least in those I've been tracking, particularly 
in the UK.

I'm completely unaware of those trials including Zone content in the 
registration
flow, so I'd opine that these extensions are indeed separable.

Whether or not the current validation token proposal is sufficient is 
another matter.

all the best,
   Lawrence
