I'll leave that call up to the chairs bit it sounds like a good idea.

I have reviewed the document.

First, the yand model is correct in the draft. But unfortunately, the IANA registry
itself has flaws.

I am also confused by the difference between deprecated and obsoleted. I guess the
yang model interprets the IANA regitry, but the registry has no official column
designation for this. I wonder if it should be given one. I also then suggest that
the terms obsoleted and deprecated be merged into one term.

I see some RRTYPES are listed as EXPERIMENTAL in the IANA registry while these are
really OBSOLETED. I wonder if we can do a quick draft that moves those to HISTORIC,
so this yang model can use the proper "obsoleted" entry for these. I am referring to:

MB 	7 	a mailbox domain name (EXPERIMENTAL) 	[RFC1035] 
MG 	8 	a mail group member (EXPERIMENTAL) 	[RFC1035] 
MR 	9 	a mail rename domain name (EXPERIMENTAL) 	[RFC1035]

RP 	17 	for Responsible Person

X25 	19 	for X.25 PSDN address

ISDN 	20 	for ISDN address 	[RFC1183] 
RT 	21 	for Route Through 	[RFC1183] 
NSAP 	22 	for NSAP address, NSAP style A record 	[RFC1706] 
NSAP-PTR 	23 	for domain name pointer, NSAP style

PX 	26 	X.400 mail mapping information 	[RFC2163] 
GPOS 	27 	Geographical Position 	[RFC1712]

KX 	36 	Key Exchanger 	[RFC2230]

A6 	38 	A6 (OBSOLETE - use AAAA)

DLV 	32769 	DNSSEC Lookaside Validation

The following entries are deprecated or obsoleted by an RFC, but not marked as such in the IANA
registry:

AFSDB 	18 	for AFS Data Base location  	[RFC1183][RFC5864]
SIG 	24 	for security signature 	[RFC4034][RFC3755][RFC2535][RFC2536][RFC2537][RFC2931][RFC3110][RFC3008] 
KEY 	25 	for security key 	[RFC4034][RFC3755][RFC2535][RFC2536][RFC2537][RFC2539][RFC3008][RFC3110]

NXT 	30 	Next Domain (OBSOLETE)


(Odd how NXT is marked obsolete but not SIG or KEY. These are a set and should be treated the same)

(I'm skipping NULL, MINFO/HINFO on purpose to due Olafur :)




NITS:

It seems that the IANA address in Section 3 implies Canada (CA) or more likely suffers
from the assumption that no country specified means "United States". Please specify
the country :)
