Hi All,
I would like to raise an issue with this draft which is currently in "Last
Call" in regards to the storage of the <e164:natpr> extension element:
Currently:
3.1.2 EPP <info> Command
.
.
The <e164:infData> element contains one or more <e164:naptr> elements
that contain the following child elements:
.
.
3.2.1 EPP <create> Command
.
.
The <e164:create> element contains one or more <e164:naptr>
elements that contain the following child elements:
.
.
3.2.5 EPP <update> Command
.
.
The <e164:update> element contains one or more <e164:add> or
<e164:rem> elements. Each <e164:add> and <e164:rem> element
contains an <e164:naptr> element that contains the following
child elements:
.
.
Objection:
The mandatory inclusion of one or more <e164:naptr> elements is
the major point of contension. By way of using the current epp schema for
domain mapping, <ns> elements may be used to point to external DNS servers
which will host the owning NAPTR records. Thus creating a "thin" enum
registry while still accepting and generating "referral" e164 domains.
This allows the registry to host the native NAPTR records and all the
personal details that come along with that data or allow an external name
service to host these dynamic NAPTR records.
As a further extension to the current support for <e164:naptr> is
the ability to allow <e164:cname> or <e164:dname> support. These would
work much like the above <ns> approach, in that the zone generated
by the registry would point to an external DNS that would then resolve
the actual NAPTR records for public use. While these are more experimental
additions, they are a valuable addition to the draft, while enum trials
are taking place to see how usability case studies perform in the real world.
To ensure the integrity of the e164 domain, only one of the four
types may be associated with an e164 domain at a time. The four types are
<ns>, <e164:naptr>, <e164:cname> and <e164:dname>. This way the zone
generated for the e164 domain names will have a deterministic output each
and every time.
