Hello Jari,

Very minor, a missing period on the bottom of section 2.7.
        "would first be converted in other1.example net to"
should be
        "would first be converted in other1.example.net to"

Thanks, this is now corrected.

Also, sorry to come in so late on the disccusion but just wanted to add a comment on 2.7 Realm Construction as it pertains to roaming. The proposed method seems to be opposite of what I see in practice today. Typically what is commonly referred to as the prefix domain, the portion before the '!', is used for the intermediary domains where the suffix domain, portion after the '@', is used as the home domain. Not only does it make it much more readable since the username@realm is preserved at the end of the string, but it also takes away the need to reorder the parts when proxying and is simpler for an intermediary domain to just strip off its own domain in the front and the first '!' and pass on the rest of the string.

So in your example where you have

        other2.example.net!home.example.net!user@other1.example.net

in practice today it would be written as

        other1.example.net!other2.example.net!user@home.example.net

and sent from other1.example.net as
other2.example.net!user@home.example.net


and sent from other2.example.net as

        user@home.example.net

Not sure it really makes much of a difference since both are recursive just seems a little cleaner to me...

I think we have had this discussion in the past already, and came to the conclusion which is in the current draft...
