Re: [regext] CONSENSUS CALL: discussion regarding rdapConformance

Jim,

For #1, I just want to ensure that " the RDAP protocol and RDAP Extensions Registry do not directly support versioning of extensions" does not prohibit the registration of versioned profile extension identifiers, since "icann_rdap_response_profile_1" and " icann_rdap_technical_implementation_guide_1" will need to be registered in the future.  The quick answer sounds to be no, so there is no risk of rejecting the inclusion of "versioning" or "visual versioning" in an extension identifier.  Is that correct?

    As a personal observation, I characterize this as “visual versioning”.  If you add a digit(s) to the end of a name then a user looking at it might interpret it as a version.  However, the extension registry would require each individual identifier to be registered.

    On the other hand, there’s nothing that prevents an extension itself from defining for itself how it wants to support versioning.  This could get tricky but it’s all doable and allowed, if you really think you need to go in this direction.

    Speaking as a co-Chair, thanks for this.
