Let's try get back to Jim's issues. What we need to do is
help get ssp-00 out so that we have an I-D as a basis for discussion.
(1) Use of XPTR records for SSP. The idea here is to create
a more general policy mechanism that can be used by WS-* and
such. There were about 20 messages discussing this from 5
people. I'm not reading a clear consensus on this.
Issue#1: +1 - include use of XPTR as part of ssp-00
Issue#1: -1 - exclude use of XPTR from ssp-00
+1
(2) SSP record type (TXT vs. something new). Only 4 messages
in discussion, mostly saying "if you support TXT, don't
bother with anything else." Again, no clear consensus.
Issue#2: +1 - Define how to use a TXT RR for SSP policies (with or
without something else)
Issue#2: -1 - Don't use TXT at all, only use new RRs for SSP
+1
(3) Upward query vs. wildcard publication. 27 messages in
discussion from 15 people. Most of the discussion was a
rehash of the idea of associating semantics with DNS
zone-cuts, which we had already discussed and rejected. I
have also been trying to get an opinion from DNSOP on the
idea of a one-level upward search (which I think solves 90%
of the problem), but haven't gotten any response.
Issue#3: +1 - Define an upward query based approach to finding SSP
statements
Issue#3: -1 - Define a wildcard based approach to finding SSP
statemetns
-1
