There is currently a "trouble:" attribute in ROLE objects, which contains free text. We will update ROLE objects, so that any ROLE object that has a "trouble:" attribute that is an e-mail address as defined in RFC 2822, will be copied to the "abuse-mailbox:" attribute. Any other "trouble:" attributes will be converted to "remarks:".
Last week I asked the following and haven't heard any comments about it:
!Then shouldn't the 'trouble:' attribute be marked as deprecated?
Perhaps I wasn't clear. If the proposal is to change all current trouble attributes to either remarks or abuse-mailbox, then in the future, if we don't deprecate the trouble attribute, anyone can add a new role object with a trouble attribute, and it *won't* be converted.
So shouldn't trouble be deprecated?
I agree it should be deprecated. It is free-text and its semantics is not very clear, which makes it not very different than "remarks:" attribute. -engin
