Is it possible to create a new namespace as complete sub-namespace of another one? For example a namespace for polls that’s tied to names from .id
.
I know that there are sub-names in .id
planned, but are they meant to get used for non-id things? (i.e. some-poll.some-name.id
)
You can register the name some-name.id
and then add some-poll
as a DNS resource record to its zone file today. However, the name some-poll.some-name.id
will still be owned by you.
What we are planning to add this year is the ability for some-poll.some-name.id
to be owned by a separate keypair from some-name.id
, such that the owner of some-poll.some-name.id
can issue a NAME_UPDATE
that affects only its own name.
But that would result in having many mixed resources in the .id
namespace later on. I could imagine things like
some-device.some-name.id
some-poll.some-name.id
some-sub-name.some-name.id
I guess it would be better to have separate namespaces for the first two things (.device
, which hasn’t necessarily get tied to an id; and .poll
which has to get tied to an id).
Doesn’t the .id
namespace implies that the entities within it are identities?
