Re: [dnssd] I-D Action: draft-ietf-dnssd-srp-00.txt

If you were present in Montréal, you may remember that I supported this work for adoption but wanted to see the named changed.

There didn’t seem to be any other responses one way or the other. Since I believe in rough consensus, it would be good to know if others feel the same.

The discussion was then moved to the list and can be found in the archives.

My main objection was that because it wasn’t possible to use encryption with this scheme, it was not a general purpose solution and had to be restricted to a subset of the use cases. Therefore, it should have a name that reflects it’s inherent limitations.

Thanks,
Tom
