OK, I agree.

The nightmare is the proliferation of X-mumble (e-mail), P-mumble (SIP), g.mumble, etc., especially when the experiment becomes standard.

I'd much rather have a registration that looks like:

Package Name     Contact                            Reference
keypress SIP Work Group <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> RFCYYYY coolpackage Proprietary Co <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> none

(where RFCYYYY is some standards track RFC)



And then, someday we get

coolpackage Proprietary Co <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> RFCZZZZ

(where RFCZZZZ is some Informational RFC or link to a stable document)


The multiple tree way gives us X-coolpackage at best and com.example.coolpackage at worst, which might make foobar.com not want to advertise example.com. Plus the package name give us a hint to what it does...

We can also have two trees, one Specification Required and one Private. This has been proven to be an interoperability and marketing nightmare, but I will put it out there for completeness.

Can you say more? Why would it be more of a nightmare than FCFS?

I would offer we go with First Come First Served. We can have a field for a reference, giving us the best of the specification required (you can look up what a published specification is) and Private (if you are creating a private Info Package, you do not have to specify anything other than the package name).
Please Vote:
[ ] First Come First Served with pointer to optional specification
[ ] First Come First Served
[ ] Specification Required
[ ] Expert Review
[X] Two trees: Specification Required and Private

IMO this is better than FCFS with pointer because it gives a higher degree of legitimacy to those with specifications, which provides an incentive to get that.

But I will make FCFS w/opt spec my 2nd choice.

Thanks,
Paul
