[ppml] New RFC about inaddr-arpa PTR records

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

My comment on this is that I fail to see any relevance here.

This draft RFC contains no language that requires anyone to
do anything.  The word "must" doesen't even appear in it.
So assuming it is published, there is nothing in it to
obligate an RIR to follow it - since anyone can follow an
RFC that doesen't require them to do anything.

In short, this isn't a standards RFC.

As for the presense or not of the word "lame" well that is
irrelevant as well.  For all we know the RFC author is crippled
and has a personal dislike to the word "lame"  I do notice that
for all his political correctness on not using the word "lame"
he has no problem using the word "spam" rather than the more
formal (and correct in this instance) term "UCE" aka Unsolicited
Commercial Email.
