In hindsight, I tend to agree with your conclusion. But since the default is recursive deletion, implementors can choose to add an option controling the behavior (and perhaps we could even standardize such an option). But it is in my view not OK to simply implement a different behavior since clients may rightfully expect recursive deletion as this is what the specs says. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1 | 28759 Bremen | Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <https://www.jacobs-university.de/> _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list netmod@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod
