Since we have removed much of that discussion, we expect mostly pre-configuration, and we have yet to (and may never) complete the actual database discovery work, I think this may have no effect on folks implementing the protocol. But I do need to confirm that the WG is aware of this and still thinks it's OK to move forward with the protocol document.

I’m unable to find the text of the Nokia application, so it’s difficult to assess.

I note that they’ve quoted an application date of 29 April 2013, I’d be amazed if there isn’t some prior work relating to database discovery (e.g. the OFCOM spec, or ETSI EN 301 598) although that does depend on exactly what mechanism it is they’re claiming.

Given the WG's de-emphasis on DB discovery I see no reason to change course based on this.
