RFC 8427, "Representing DNS Messages in JSON", July 2018

Source of RFC: IETF - NON WORKING GROUP
Area Assignment: art

Errata ID: 6340
Status: Rejected
Type: Technical
Publication Format(s) : TEXT
Reported By: Felipe Gasper
Date Reported: 2020-11-19
Rejected by: Barry Leiba
Date Rejected: 2020-11-25

Section 2.3 says: 

   o  rdataCNAME - A domain name

   o  rdataDNAME - A domain name

   o  rdataNS - A domain name

   o  rdataPTR - A domain name

   o  rdataTXT - A text value

It should say:

   o  rdataCNAME - A domain name

   o  rdataDNAME - A domain name

   o  rdataNS - A domain name

   o  rdataPTR - A domain name

   o  rdataTXT - An array of text values

Notes:

Errata 5438 (https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5438) correctly notes that “A text value” is an improper definition of TXT records’ data; however, that errata incorrectly states that TXT record values are space-separated. While the individual character-strings in a TXT record may be represented as space-separated in an RFC-1035-style zone file, that’s not germane to the RDATA itself.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
As this report is based on errata report 5438 and that report has been Rejected, this one is also. They are both discussing a technical change to the document, outside the scope of an errata report.
