Mainly, I'd be looking for indications that this has been reviewed by some people who are aware of the problems that public protocols can run into. The fact that there are multiple independent implementations is a *big* plus - possibly enough to go straight for permanent registration. Is there any kind of interoperability discussion or similar conducted by the dchub developer community? This is not something that should require additional work at this stage. (I agree that it's not the protocol document's place to describe interoperable implementations.) My questions came about because I hadn't heard of dchub protocol before, so I was casting about for some indication of how mature and widely used the protocol, is in practice. In part, I was hoping my questions might prompt responses from other IETFers who might have greater knowledge of dchub. In any case, I think there's plenty of material to support a provisional registration straight away. The permanent registration is usually indicative of something that's closer to standard status (without necessarily being an actual standard). My questions were an attempt to form a clearer view, in particular, how much developer community consensus is there behind the specification published on sourceforge? And how much thought has been given to the security characteristics of the protocol? #g --
