Does this rule out of scope further work on CSV/CSA's use of SRV
records (which are certainly not SPF syntax)?
The question put before the working group dealt with the extensibility
of syntax, with the group being concerned that too much extensibility
could potentially harm interoperability. SRV syntax is probably not as
extensible as SPF syntax. More to the point, the working group did not
discuss SRV extensibility in the context of SPF and XML. So the intent
is not to rule out CSV/CSA.
Is it an option (given rough concensus) to independently advance the
draft-marid-core/submitter document set and the draft-marid-csv-*
document set to PS, or is their a requirement to produce a single
standards track specification?
It is expected that MARID produce a cohesive, sensible, and
interoperable specification that meets our charter objectives. That
specification may be contained in a single document or among many.
CSV's place in that specification is for the working group to decide.
