Hi,
I have just joined the IETF mailing list. I'm not sure if this is
the right forum to post this, but I think it's the place to start.
This is with reference to the RFC-2229 on Dictionary Server Protocol
(Oct, 1997).
I have some updations to the protocol and I would like to put them
up for discussion. What is all that I need to do so?
Do I need to post the completed new RFC as I have with updates or
should I put only updates?
What should be the format of the updates? Would a plain text
attachment with updates do?
In a nutshell, the updates include the following:
- Defining character sets (esp, support for unicode)
- Defining locales (support for non en_US dictionaries)
- Defining output formats (support for XML format besides current plain text)
- Extensions to the current method of defining and matching words
(with support for references to other words in same or other
dictionaries)
- Support to list full dictionary-words
- Updates to the current URL form.
- Updates to how the interaction happens (esp the initial server
response, getting capabilities, server info, supported charsets,
available locales etc)
I would be better posting only updates. ;-)
NB: I have CC'ed the original authors.
