One thing that does make using all four elements easier: it's consistent with both the add and chg operators, which may make it easier for implementors to code (well, a tiny bit, anyway). James, I'm not sure if this is to your point or not. Codifying the edge cases is important, however, and it appears that we'll have to lose some of this compatibility to do so (regardless if we use just the hash on the rem, or the entire dsData). By requiring anything other than just the keyTag itself, it will not be backwards compatible for implementors - today, the keytag submission is sufficient, tomorrow, it will not be (going strictly by the RFC, not by registry policy). I am no longer particular to either method - they both would be fine. -Howard On Oct 29, 2009, at 10:57 AM, Howard Eland wrote: > This is what I was saying.
