Hi Ed Can you do a quick count on INETNUM and INET6NUM objects and see how many currently have a "remarks: Geofeed" attribute and if any have more than one. An interesting question Robert. Perhaps an even more interesting one is, if we implement the "geofeed:" attribute, should we allow anyone to add any "remarks: Geofeed" or should we flag that as a syntax error? Or will any tool that accesses this data ignore any "remarks:" attributes if there is a "geofeed:" attribute? cheers denis co-chair DB-WG ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Robert Kisteleki via db-wg <db-wg@ripe.net> Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2021 at 09:45 Subject: Re: [db-wg] proposal: new attribute 'geofeed:' To: <db-wg@ripe.net> On 2021-01-04 21:41, Randy Bush via db-wg wrote:

from draft-ietf-opsawg-finding-geofeeds
Any particular inetnum: object MAY have, at most, one geofeed reference, whether a remarks: or a proper geofeed: attribute when one is defined.
now all we need is for the someone or someone's automated system to read the spec :)
Of course the question is "what should happen in the bad case", eg. what's the expected behaviour if there are 2 or more "remarks: geofeed" attributes? Should the DB reject such an update? Should the geofeed client pick one at random? Should it pick the first one? Or the last one? Or none? Robert (speaking for myself)
