Mealling and Leslie Daigle}, title = {{Service Lookup System (SLS)}}, pagetotal = 33, year = 2002, month = jul, day = 3, abstract = {Developing technology to allow for truly internationalized Internet identifiers is proving a hard nut to crack within the framework of the existing DNS. At the same time, the DNS continues to do an excellent job at serving its original mandate for providing efficient mappings between machine-readable labels and network resources. What is not clear is whether the existing DNS can be transformed into a service that can handle the more human oriented identification services it is now being asked to provide. This document embraces, extends and complements a proposal by John Klensin to address the requirements for a directory layer above the existing DNS that can better solve these problems. The discussion concludes by proposing a strawman called the Service Lookup System (SLS).}, }
