Back from vacation:
Interesting that as soon somebody is proposing some real work to
be done the discussion is dying away immediately ;-)
IMHO putting both variants in ENUM is not a good idea.
Upgrading existing ENUM clients to understand both 2916 and
2916bis is also not a good idea, because it is unnecessary
work.
The best solution would be to upgrade all existing 2916 based
ENUMs with a simple scripting run to 2916bis overnight.
Following rationale and way forward:
-2916bis is approved and only stuck in IANA, so it will come
(although nobody seems to know when ;-)
-the argument of some implementers of ENUM that they are
obliged to implement only RFCs I cannot follow really, because
in this case they could not implement ENUM at all, because
not a single "enumservice" is defined in an RFC yet.
- at least for Europe there is existing a BCP already,
defineing very well all what needs to be done to be compatible,
namely ETSI TS 102 172.
- the document should be updated accordingly to the developments
over the last year and parts of it could then easily folded back
to the IETF Grand BCP document proposed in Korea (still waiting on
input from the far east ;-)
- there will be an ETSI TISPAN WG4 meeting in two weeks, where
updates to ETSI TS 102 172 will be discussed.
-I will be happy to receive input for this document and forward
it to ETSI during the next week and also afterwards.
-the results of this updates may be folded back in an ID for San Diego.
-this leaves also time to finalize then both documents until October,
(the second ETSI ENUM Plugtest Workshop)
to use both the ETSI document and the IETF document as basis
for the ETSI Plugtest event in December.
We should not forget that some ENUM implementations will go
commercial mid of this year and more will follow until the
end of the year.
If 2916bis is not an official RFC within mid of the year, the
only feasible way (at least in Europe) will be to use the
ETSI TS anyway.
Another option is to remove the IANA stuff from RFC2916bis in
A similar way it is done with 2806bis by Jonathan (quod licet Jovi,
also licet bovi ;-)
