The second of the two remaining open questions is if we should allow an answer to contain multiple values. I do not think this is the intent of the text that has been in the draft for some time; regardless, we could make such a change, but I question if we can do so now, when we've essentially passed IESG review. I edited a version of the draft that contains all remaining clarifying editorial changes to also make this technical change and attached is a diff showing what it would look like. However, I think we should not make the change since it could introduce additional complexities or problems that we aren't considering. I think we could make such a change in a future extension or revision. I don't think we'd have an interoperability problem since endpoints conformant with the more restrictive version will not generate such answers, and would regard regard receiving such answers as an error, but not one that would fail a call. -- Randall Gellens Opinions are personal; facts are suspect; I speak for myself only -------------- Randomly selected tag: --------------- [XML] is probably the worst format ever designed...it really doesn't scale as a file format, and it's generally a complete disaster. --Linus Torvalds, 3/6/2014
