at by the end of the document why I should prefer an abuse-c attribute to an irt object.
The IRT Object was degraded in the last few years. For example the creation process was made pretty simple to allow more people to use it as a abuse-c. The idea would be to go back to the original intent of an IRT Object. So if you are running a cert I would suggest using the IRT, if you are running an abuse department I would suggest using the abuse-c and if you are running both, like many huge ISPs already do, I would suggest to use both.
This approach would be quite contrary to goals of the proposal (such as: ".. it helps all kinds of institutions to find the correct abuse contact information more easily"). Most users cannot distinguish between a CERT or an abuse department. Also, I cannot see why implementing another object holding the same data as an IRT would make things better. Cheers, Adrian
