Subject: [dnsext] draft-registry-fixes terms question

In the draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-registry-fixes the terms used in the "status" column are defined in another working document (draft-ogud-iana-protocol-maintenance-words).  draft-registry-fixes seems to be wrapping up and heading for last call, so that leaves an issue with the terms used.

So a question posed to the working group about the terms.  Either:

1. Define the terms in draft-registry-fixes as they are used in the doc (basically, copy the text from draft-ogud-iana-protocol-maintenance-words and place them in a separate section in this draft.

2.  Use "SHOULD+" instead of DISCRETIONARY (and define it), MUST instead of MANDATORY and MUST NOT for OBSOLETE.  

3. do nothing (assume that draft-ogud-iana-protocol-maintenance-words will advance).
