This is a bug fix, the proposed behaviour makes no sense when $QNAME is the unaltered (attrleaf prefixed) starting point. The current meaning was not intended. If the edit can be made without any major process, just a note to the RFC editor, it'll save errata, and possible confusion later. The document is on hold anyway, the fix is elementary and obvious. I am not a process wonk, I'm happy to let those who are go at it. With the suggested change made, I'm done. -- Viktor. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
