[db-wg] Role of RIPE NCC in geofeed, abuse-c checks, etc

Hi Ed,

This seems like a good implementation to me.

However, I don't think it's a good idea to limit the values on the "remarks" attribute in this way, as this could cause unwanted side effects with for ex. messages left on objects for other network operators.

Also:
> "Do not support non-ASCII values in URL domain names or path (these must be converted beforehand)"

Do you by this mean not supporting non-ASCII entirely? Or to have for ex. the web-interface convert IDNs to punycode, and have this listed on the object?

If the latter, and remarks can remain free-form, I'd say let's implement.


Cheers,
Jori Vanneste
