Re: Listing request names

[Mark Wahl <M.Wahl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also am in agreement with Paul Hoffman's suggested approach, with one 
modification: I would prefer to have the temporary OID assignment be done with
a real-time protocol (e.g. HTTP?) than with a store-and-forward protocol (SMTP).
When the user clicks the 'send to listing service' button on their schema 
design tool, it would allow the tool to obtain an OID and send the message 
immediately, rather than waiting for an intermediate response to wander through
the MTAs.

I don't see a problem with missing numbers in the sequence; when in future
the listing service becomes pruned there will be more missing numbers.
