Re: Protocol numbers for RSA/SHA{256|512} (Was: Re: [dnsext] GOST DNSSEC, implementations?)



Hi,

I didn't see an argument that seemed like, "This is harmful," where harm was defined otherwise than, "It's in bad taste." I don't think bad taste is enough, and as I argued before, I think the precedent argument is bogus (and I'm prepared to meet it in future). Of course, we do not yet have an RFC, and if the issue is important enough to anyone to change, now would be the time to make loud screeching noises. I won't speak for Olafur, but I regard my role in this as being the instrument of the WG's will. I think I got it right, but I'm ever open to correction.

IANA could kill two birds with one stone by not assigning 8-11 "in the
foreseeable future" and assigning something totally different to
RSA/SHA{256|512}.

Actually, in consultation with IANA, we've determined that we'll
assign the identifiers in the 8-11 range

I see based on
http://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-sec-alg-numbers/dns-sec-alg-numbers.xhtml
that the decision to use the numbers that were already shipped seems
to have been finalized.
