First off, I apologize for an almost word-for-word repeating of myself in a
previous post -- it's fairly obvious that my mail reading habit is fifo based :)

My feeling is that deferring this argument until the design phase won't
likely hurt, while getting it wrong in requirements phase certainly will. If we
can just be patient until then, I think there will be plenty of opportunity
to work this issue through. I personally agree that this is an important
issue, but I'm also very interested in real experience which will support
the various conjectures about how the discovery mechanism should work.

I'd be satisfied if the requirements draft were to say:

The protocol MUST NOT require use of a new DNS RR type. The protocol MAY allow for optional use of a new RR type.

I understand others may not like that and so I guess we leave it open for now.

From the requirements standpoint, I'd just assume that we avoid this
topic. There are some pretty deep engineering and political tradeoffs and
absent actual proposals, it's really hard to imagine that a requirements
draft would
finesse this topic correctly.

Does that sound ok for now?
If that's the best I can get, OK.

I was serious when I said that if we are going to have to cut and deploy a
new RR type for SSP we may as well stop now.  By the time that happens
the internet ecosphere will have routed around the protocol.

From my perspective a new RR type is a showstopper problem.  I'm not sure
what
a more concrete proposal for a new RR type might do to change that.

However you want to handle it is fine though,
