Current spec causes non-unique labels #25

Closed paulehoffman closed 2 years ago

paulehoffman commented 2 years ago

Section 5.2, second paragraph, says "Entity-specific labels shall begin with the Internet domain name (without the top level domain (TLD), if that TLD is .com)...". The odd exception in the parentheses will cause some labels to be non-unique because there are many names below .com that are also stand-alone domain names.

This problem can be easily avoided by removing the parenthesized exception, thus treating all domain names the same.

@paulehoffman Thanks for reading the spec and pointing out this issue. We will indeed improve that language for the next revision!
