Re: [provreg] RFC 5733: street changes with contact:update

Hello Klaus,

    In my opinion ,  <contact:rem> will be used to clear a postalInfo if regsitrar wants to remove it .

So  for request 1, nothing changed for lacking necessary values,  for request 2, only organization of type 'int' will be updated.

Hi Scot, Seth,

up to now I regarded the name, the organization and the the whole address block 
as the replacable units, derived from the associated XML schema. It namely 
contains two datatypes, "postalInfoType" for the create command and 
"chgPostalInfoType" for the update command. The first contains the <name> and 
<addr> elements as mandatory elements, the latter contains them as optional 
elements. If one would consider the postalInfo itself as the replacable unit, it 
would not make sense to enforce the name and address on <create>, but would 
allow to remove them with a following <update> request.

So simply asked: What does the following schema-wise legal request do?

<contact:update xmlns:contact="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:contact-1.0">
   <contact:id>C20131114-01</contact:id>
   <contact:chg>
     <contact:postalInfo type="int"/>
   </contact:chg>
</contact:update>

Does it clear the international contact? Does it leave the international postal 
data simply unchanged (aside from being illegal in Scot's view to submit a 
command that is effectively non-modifying). Does the following command

<contact:update xmlns:contact="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:contact-1.0">
   <contact:id>C20131114-01</contact:id>
   <contact:chg>
     <contact:postalInfo type="int">
       <contact:org>ACME Solutions</contact:org>
     </contact:postalInfo>
   </contact:chg>
</contact:update>

modify the postal info so that it *solely* contains the organization and nothing 
else afterwards?

Regards,

Klaus
