You mean, for instance, that I could write: 192.139.46.38, meaning the a
subdomain of this newly created ICANN TLD of ".38"?
Or that it could somehow get confused into thinking that I really meant the
IPv6 address ::192.139.46.38.
I'm certainly open to additional syntax - do you have a suggestion?
I'm also open to a more formal grammar for the presentation format. Oops, I
thought that I actually used that wording. I think that I should, based upon
other documents... oh wait, it says it one line up, but the document
formatting of the draft is a little screwy there.
Mark> Is 1.2 a IP address or a unqualified domain name?
oh, took me a bit. I thought you meant section 1.2, and that this was a new
question.
I think that only fully qualified domain names should be given:
3 A fully qualified domain name is present in the gateway field.
The name a %lt;domain-name%gt; encoded as described in section 3.3
of [4]. This field occupies the space until the end of the RDATA.
In the presentation format, I can see that maybe it is reasonable to let
the program reading it qualify it... do you have a suggestion on how we can
distinguish things?

Sure.
