Re: [idn] new list of wg documents and next steps

Marc,

draft-ietf-idn-requirements-08.txt, statement of scope, contains this:

	It is recommended that solutions not necessarily be within
	the DNS itself, but could be a layer interjected between the
	application and the DNS.

While this may be the most popular point of view, it isn't appropriate
to place a recommendation prior to completion of requirements gathering.

I've mentioned this before, but the editors haven't made any change or
comment.

I'd like to know if there is working group consensus on the inclusion of
any recommendation in a working group requirements draft. It seems novel
to me.
