Hi Henry,

Thanks again for your early appsdir review of the IODEF Enumeration Reference Format.  There is an open question that has been posted to the MILE list regarding one of your issues with the draft.  

How strongly do you feel that the Enum Ref draft should request that IANA provide redirect URIs?  The discussion during the MILE session this week was strongly against for a variety of reasons - creating work for IANA and operational utility of a redirect to a specification for each identified enumeration value (there are tens of thousands of identified elements in some cases, and this is likely to grow substantially over time).

We are preparing to advance this draft and would appreciate your quick comments on the above.

Regards,

Adam
