- The Listing Server, as described in 4.1.1, may not be universal:
  - It will not be in every regulatory domain
  - There is no requirement that a Listing Server for one regulator does
about other regulatory domains
  - A Device MAY treat the list as validation that the DB it uses is on the
list, rather than for discovery

Thus, I agree that it does not serve the same purpose as a DB Discovery
protocol.

- Section 4.1.1 was proposed in version 04 to address the Ofcom/ETSI
requirements that was discussed
  on the list after the F2F.

  You are correct that the message between a Device and Listing Server is
listed as out of scope.
  Are you suggesting that it should be in scope?

Agreed. The question is really between the two choices:

  a) Use HTTP 302/301 to redirect to a single destination, or
  b) Use DbUpdateSpec message to list more than one alternatives

b) is more flexible, but potentially more complex.

------------------------
Bottom line:

Is there a compelling use case where a Discovery Service is NOT
preconfigured that:
 - Is "trustworthy" to all regulators, databases, and devices?
 - Is easily deployable?

If not, do we need LoST? or just a protocol to encode the request and
response?
