Any time the "natural" key is unique, there is little need for roids as references. In contrast, roids or some equivalent will prove necessary whenever the natural key is NOT unique. The scenario of that which leaps to mind is in respect to sunrise periods, where there may be multiple applications for domains. If there is need to revise an application, during sunrise, for a domain, a roid would make a decent unique reference. Also, that offers a way to get WHOIS to return data about a sunrise application. The server trid of the application would also be a credible "unique" candidate, though less natural for the WHOIS part. _______________________________________________ provreg mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/provreg
