- 'DNS Blacklists and Whitelists '
<draft-irtf-asrg-dnsbl-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard
Well, it is certainly very important that the DNSxL are documented,
given their widespread use. And the I-D is a good document.
On the other hand, I have a few questions: the first one, why
"Proposed standard"? Is it really a good idea to standardize these
lists (most being badly managed)? Why not just "Informational" if we
just want to document what people are doing?
Second question, the document indeed standardizes many things which
are not in common use but does not point towards a rationale, so some
choices are puzzling. Why TXT records to point to an URL and not
NAPTR? Is this because of current usage in DNSxL? If so, this should
be noted. But why IPv6 lists use a A record and not a AAAA? I am not
aware of existing IPv6 lists so this cannot be the current usage?
