Interesting.I hadn't noticed the implication of that, before, but it seems to be a pretty clear technical specification that a top-level domain is not allowed to be a decimal number. Ever.
That's a concrete constraint on what ICANN is permitted to authorize. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf at ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
