What are the opinions on that, especially from the BIND2 folks? I feel that using BIND2 resources---albeit this is likely to become the new standard---harms readability a lot. However, I can also see that using examples which do not fit the current standards lead to developers implementing the wrong things, such as clients which encourage the use of descriptive and user-chosen resources. I think a middle-way is needed here, and I do not have a good idea how to address this. Referring to BIND2 or any document describing why per-client resourcees are a bad idea at any use of resources does not scale; having it only at the top of a document *might* work if its highlighted as NOTE; having it in a best-practices document has the risk that those who would need to read it do not read it. Any suggestions? best regards, Jonas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEG/EPV+Xzd5wEoQQIwGIDJZdiWIoFAliqtMUACgkQwGIDJZdi WIqxFw/+LJWlXtf6QFi1xhCvT2Zigx+KjrbQlR+ZIHb9HiCuOSzfk5ofZ53danTy 3kAx7fmglBjKVq3FtI/4EJjtf27XhoSczv2gxMpi6oVj4ckG1YUBYdcM0P8nLi9h N/W2Jq5/j/W7q9Jxq2+LB5W+/GOOxrsPyoZ2LzDXQnkL/unU/jdBENQrOq/Ga+t9 qKuh+Y7qlZSkevWC8lUByYt5MMylkHmq64zxgXud08WV/WvmAG5tgAEDL6WQTifr T3nz52oFl2WTaJ45rtuPm6em6fNBTA0cclLqNlEKefuzxrhkHjbJSH45sDJ7imww kEDkFpBTr3Llw0E8xFjOJIcmaGZiF+Yv35NIbjDcs442H/5BQmjHqW2l5KpsV/IE wqgKa9BG96bMNFU5hP+8E9hsUT8YMdZIX1+W5lFFFOKxSTj/jPNtDdxO4eO8t9WB EyRTZ8zaRvNtMzcx/o1coErnWcfGjRKGN+0fSkP2/i+6nDIBNebWV8s3jB/44/ek wuPBCeyfcggMzL6KqCx4FFgz4ZGF1qui1Szqy17K9cq9R8uezAK2VVNy2Y0x93NW J+zV3+/oKztVGnn3W0sU3MUfavV7/QB5Y3qD8SCu5csCwCKe011gWRfWwp0/1N1k 8smWGdujSXW3171EavlwzU2rv45AG4183jVb1SvXOC27EQd5HAE= =1kt7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: standards-unsubscr...@xmpp.org _______________________________________________
