Re: Last Call: <draft-faltstrom-uri-10.txt> (The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) DNS Resource Record) to Proposed Standard

Cool! Some quick feedback:

* you should explicitly accommodate target attributes (i.e., extension fields)
* 'rev' was only included in 5988 for backwards compatibility with some fairly 
esoteric use cases; don't think it's necessary or good here.
* you need to specify how to determine the context of the link (using RFC5988 
terminology). 

Cheers,

The document effectively gives a "type" for the URI by associating a value

Such a good idea that there is already a draft with just such an approach:
