It may be that we are actually somewhat close in agreement on the architecture, although in disagreement on the implementation details. In the proposed ruleset, there is one rule that governs "domain names", and several rules which can be considered as application-specific for particular types of labels. EG, the application-specific labels which are valid for SRV owner domain names are these, while the labels which are valid for RP data domain names are these, and so forth. The big difference is the mandatory case conversion and normalization issues. We will get nowhere as a group until a counter-proposal is made and debated. -- Eric A.
