This _might_ have been the best resolution 2-3 years ago. However, now we cannot do that anymore, as it would require implementations to check for whether multiple records are identical or not. And grafting this onto RFC 4408 with a "SHOULD" (i.e. not strictly requiring the new behavior) wouldn't solve the problem at hand. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGdO55wL7PKlBZWjsRAlMVAJ4y94E98SW1k9iUdaHQS28AJx2MxQCdEUPg f7NMLlXG2a51VAPm/ga+sfw= =hvdh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=6959932&user_secret=62b4c45f Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
