I can't remember offhand if DNS got to full standard or not, lets say for the sake of argument that it did. If we want to make a significant change to DNS, such as yank out some features that were never used, we have a minimum of about six years before the change can be made. First we would have

I strongly disagree with the use of NAPTR. It has a ridiculous amount of power and mechanism. SRV is well supported in servers, NAPTR is not. The process of standards making is to eliminate unnecessary flexibility. In this case the configuration of the caldav Web host is not relevant to the

Nah, the service provider tells the client what to use via SRV records. In most cases the service provider is going to know if IPv4 or IPv6 is going to work better. They use different DNS names for the v4 and v6 interfaces and prioritize them accordingly. In most cases though the server is going

Code will be used for decades which is why IPv4 will always be with us. The IPv4-6 transition will inevitably take place in middleboxes. Most actual networks will use IPv4 internally and IPv6 will be an Inter-Network protocol. Trying to code for the end state before the middlebox spec is known

Yes, I agree that the IETF has become a lot more open than the self-perpetuating cabal that ran it during the mid 90s. We no have de-facto term limits for ADs and it is no longer considered acceptable for an AD to chair a working group (excepting process related groups chaired by the IETF chair).
