In Summary - as you probably guess I advocate combining the proposals and
various identity verification into more complete system being used
together. Each one proposal has its problems and does not achieve all
results on its own but when done as combination, I think they may prove
very usefull. As secondary I also like to see unified DNS record policy
syntax for convinience of administrators and programs that setup these
records. This problem was supposed to be address by LMAP group in ASRG but
it failed to achive consensus. SPF did good work in this area, however -
thank you Meng! (eventhough I continue to be against using TXT for this
policy mechanism, we need separate dns field dedicated to advertisement
of policy mechanisms through dns).
In regards to DNS policy syntax, we can try a hand at it again in the
ASRG. Consensus is not required in the IRTF, so a small group of
interested folks are free to pursue this topic.
I am also interested in looking into the rDNS approaches that Phill
described before about listing the type of connectivity and other
information about the IP.
Having said that, this may be getting out of scope for this forum.
