Discussed that the hostname to look up the NAPTR record (commonly done as âB-[MD5 hash of participant ID]â) should be standardized.

I disagree that this needs standardization if only because it would unnecessarily break compatibility for existing users, e.g. eDelivery BDXL, which dropped the addition of the "B-" prefix (redundant as not needed for DNS records of this type and potentially problematic for some DNS server backends) and uses a different hashing algorithm.

Thanks,

Pim
