I propose that we introduce a new attribute called "last-modified" as a replacement for functionality offered by past implementations of "changed:".
I'm not opposed. In fact I have supported such efforts in the past, which have always met with a universal "meh" from the working group. ;) However it seems you have good support now. :) One possible issue: I have been told that some LIRs don't want their competition seeing the dates of their database activity for whatever reason. ("changed:" does not reveal this, as only a single you can literally put in whatever date you want there, although there may be checks to make sure that it is within the last century or so and not too far in the future.) I hope that this is a minor concern, but maybe it is good to engage with the appropriate working group(s) early in this process to avoid any last-minute surprise objections. I'm thinking an FYI to address policy and NCC services might be the right approach, but maybe Wilfried can advise better. Cheers, -- Shane
