Re: [dns-privacy] [Errata Held for Document Update] RFC7858 (5375)

[no-hats]

So, this all raises an interesting question -- both dnscrypt.org and
dnscrypt.info resolve, and work for me.... but:
1: "Errata are meant to fix "bugs" in the specification and should not
be used to change what the community meant when it approved the RFC."
- https://www.ietf.org/about/groups/iesg/statements/processing-rfc-errata/
. Clearly, the community "meant" https://www.dnscrypt.org/ when this
was published --- or did they? I'd posit that they actually meant "the
webpage which talks about DNScrypt".
2: The same "how to verify" page says: "Common sense and good judgment
should be used by the IESG to decide what is the right thing to do."

but, more importantly, for the general case, how should the IETF /
IESG verify that example.com and example.net are the "same"? I did the
obvious "let me go look at the whois, and make an educated guess from
that" - but, the scourge of whois proxy registrations makes that
impossible.
As a general rule, it seems like having the site owner publish a
(provided) token on both would work, assuming both sites still
"exist". Luckily, in this case it's not my errata, so I'll run away,
leaving the problem to Eric :-P

W
p.s: if it were mine, I'd probably mark it hold for update with a note
of "someone should validate this..."

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
