Yup, what Benno said…


The "It not yet decided.." text was added when it was still unclear if A:
DNSOP might be willing to adopt it and B: if DNSOP would want it to be
added to the SUDN registry if so.

I agree that having DNSOP adopt it and not add it to SUDN would be weird,
and I obviously think that it should be added, but I did not want to be
presumptive.

So, if adopted by DNSOP, I / we will:
1: update the track to PS
2: remove the "It not yet decided…"
3: discuss Tommy Jensen's "considering "MAY" for allowing resolution
libraries to treat this specially"
4: whatever else the WG wants… :-)
