This starts a Working Group Last Call for draft-ietf-dnsop-attrleaf
I've read -10 and it seems OK. It solves a real issue, and does it
properly.
Editorial: I would prefer all occurrences of "right-most" to be
replaced by "most general", to emphasize that it is not the position
which matters, it is the closeness to the root.
So let's start by making sure we're seeking the same goal: reader
comprehension. While I can imagine there is phrasing that is better
than right-most, to achieve that comprehension, I believe 'most general'
isn't it. My impression has been that 'right-most' is the most common
phrasing people have used over the years.
Editorial: 'that is they are the "top" of a DNS branch, under a
"parent" domain name.' I assume that "top" is used instead of "apex"
because the sentence does not always refer to the top of a zone?
'zone' is almost certainly not the term to apply here. While it
encompasses a sub-tree, its boundary is not explicit in a domain name.
The DNS is a hierarchy. I would have though 'top of a sub-branch' was
therefore clear, concise and accurate. Again, if there is other
phrasing that is more established, we should use it. But I'm not used
to seeing 'apex', though it's certainly a more erudite choice...
