So from the standards development point of view, I think what this is
saying is that success is more likely to come from building on what people
are already doing and nudging more of them to do it more similarly.

The problem with the parent update process is that there's a hopeless zoo
of more-or-less crappy APIs almost none of which are good foundations.

For a push-style protocol there are two parts: finding out where to push
the update; and how to push the update.

The where question ought to be answered by whois or weirds or _update SRV
records.

The how question ought to be answered by EPP (from registrant to
registrar) or DNS UPDATE. It would be nice if there were software to
gateway between one and the other.

Tony.

Humber: Southwest 6 to gale 8, becoming variable 4, then southeast 5 later.
Slight or moderate. Rain, becoming fair. Moderate becoming good.
