[DNSOP] RFC7686: eid6761

[[e-mail]]

Hi all,

FWIW, the details can be found at:


  *   Erratum:  https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6761
  *   Discussion thread: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dnsop/irPsHwSSdoeMJdqzOjwm3oSz8CA/


It is not easy to dig into archives and find evidence about what was the intent at the writing time of draft-ietf-dnsop-onion-tld. Warren saved me some time (thanks) as he started that archaeology work (but also promised something in that thread ;-)).

My conclusion from going through all the feedback in that thread, reading the document, threads related to draft-ietf-dnsop-onion-tld, RFC6761, etc. is that the OLD has an issue. Unless there are new elements since that discussion happened, I suggest the following:


  *   Edit the erratum to use this text proposed by Robert Edmonds at the time:

Corrected Text
--------------
   5.  Authoritative DNS Servers: Authoritative servers SHOULD NOT
       recognize .onion names as special and MUST NOT treat queries for
       .onion names differently from other queries.


  *   Tag as Hold for future update

Thank you.

Cheers,
Med
