The following errata report has been held for document update for RFC6844, "DNS Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) Resource Record". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5452 -------------------------------------- Status: Held for Document Update Type: Technical Reported by: Rich Salz <[email protected]> Date Reported: 2018-08-06 Held by: EKR (IESG) Section: GLOBAL Original Text ------------- The EBNF (scattered throughout the document) does not match the examples nor the prose. It is also ambiguous in places (allowing two different interpretations of a parameter list), and nonsensical in others (such as the handling of whitespace). Corrected Text -------------- The EBNF should be corrected as follows: issuevalue = *WSP [domain *WSP] [";" *WSP [parameters *WSP]] domain = label *("." label) label = (ALPHA / DIGIT) *( *("-") (ALPHA / DIGIT)) parameters = (parameter *WSP ";" *WSP parameters) / parameter parameter = tag *WSP "=" *WSP value tag = (ALPHA / DIGIT) *(ALPHA / DIGIT) value = *(%x21-3A / %x3C-7E) Notes ----- [EBNF, text, examples do not match.] I am proposing this on behalf of the IETF ACME WG. We want to submit a standards-track document, but the current CAA specification is broken. We know it is being revised, but we do not want to wait. Our AD has said to submit the errata and he will accept it. -------------------------------------- RFC6844 (draft-ietf-pkix-caa-15) -------------------------------------- Title : DNS Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) Resource Record Publication Date : January 2013 Author(s) : P.
