Subject: Location of IOTP Services with the SRV RR

It occurst to me that it may be useful to be able to locate IOTP services with the SRV RR defined in RFC 2782 <ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2782.txt>. To do this effectively would need a small extenstion to the fully qualified DNS name syntax used in RFC 2782 to locate RV RRs. I have produced and submitted a preliminary draft which does this, draft-ietf-trade-srv-higher-services-00.txt. copy is also attached to this message. It would probably also require a simple document specifying "_IOTP-merchant", "_IOTP-payment", etc. for the IOTP roles. A similar mechanism has been suggested in an appendix to the current editors draft in the W3C KXMS working group for locating XKMS services. Comments welcome.

Thanks,
Donald
