<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Paul,</div><div><br></div><div>It took several reads of your email to make sense of the problem you're trying to solve. It might make sense to put that up-front.</div><div><br></div><div>Your understanding of SRVNames is not necessarily correct, unfortunately. The wording of 4985 is a bit ambiguous with respect to the "." zone (the DNS root), and whether it requires a hostname be expressed when it's not expressing a service name or SRVName. As a consequence, the only constraining is done through permission - similar to URIs and RFC 822.</div><div><br></div><div>I was tackling this with the profiles work, and haven't updated the draft to reflect this (i.e. the current branch is buggy and says use zero-length SRVName, which is what you should <b>not</b> do to get the desired result)</div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>
