dnsxml - A standard XML representation of DNS data
draft-daley-dnsxml-00
Abstract
This memo describes a syntax for encoding DNS Resource Records in
XML, and a schema to define that syntax written in XML Schema. It
can be used to represent all DNS RDATA. This can be used by diverse
applications as a common format.
DNS Resource Records are represented as XML elements with the name of
the element taken from the mnemonic used to represent the DNS
Resource Record in presentation format. The RDATA is represented as
XML attributes or content of the element. The attribute names are
taken from the RDATA field names specified in the normative RFC.

1. Introduction
Historically, DNS Resource Records (RRs) have a presentation format
and wire format. The presentation format is typically used to
conveniently store DNS RRs in Human Readable Form. The wire format
is typically used in transport and communication between DNS protocol
elements.
This memo describes an alternative presentation format for DNS using
an XML syntax [W3C.REC-xml-20081126] with an XML schema defined in
XML Schema [W3C.REC-xmlschema-1-20041028]. These two parts taken
together are called dnsxml.
The purpose of dnsxml is to enable XML based applications and
protocols to contain DNS Resource Records in their native XML rather
than the existing DNS presentation format. This simplifies the
processing of XML documents that contain DNS Resource Records and
enables the use of standard XML tools such as validation and
transformation on those records.
An example of an XML based protocol that may choose to use dnsxml is
Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP).
1.1. Requirements Language
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
2. Design goals
dnsxml consists of two parts:
o an XML syntax for representing DNS RRs in XML;
o an XML schema definition of that syntax.
Each of these two parts has a set of design goals, as set out below.
2.1. Design goals for the XML syntax for DNS RRs
The XML syntax should:
1. be clear, unambiguous, succinct and easy to read for the human
reader;
2. use as closely as possible the presentation format for RDATA
fields given in various RFCs, even if that reduces overall
readability for those unfamiliar with DNS, in the expectation
that it will be easier to use for those familiar with DNS;
3. split out RDATA into separate components so as to minimise the
secondary parsing that an application needs to do in order to
obtain the values of individual RDATA fields;
4. be independent of any name server implementation;
5. allow the representation of an RR of unknown type as described in
RFC 3597 [RFC3597].
2.2. Design goals for the XML schema definition
The schema definition should:
1. validate as much RDATA as possible;
2. not require excessive processing power for validation;
3. not impose any restrictions on the future definition of a new RR
element or a change to an existing RR element;
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
4. allow for any new RR to be described as an extension of this
schema definition and used as easily as any RR element described
in it;
5. ensure that a new version of this schema definition may include
new RRs or changes to existing RRs that have been described in
new RFCs, without preventing the continuing use of any
extensions;
6. not require an excessive frequency of updates to address changes
in normative RFCs or the IANA registry;
7. support semantic inference between RDATA fields that represent
semantically equivalent data.
Clearly, some of these goals need to be balanced against each other.
2.3. Semantic inference
The design goal [semantic] for semantic inference is intended to
allow users of dnsxml to carry out semantically-aware processing,
which may be achieved through the use of schema-aware XSLT.
2.4. Supported DNS RR tyopes
The following RFCs and Resource Records types are supported in
dnsxml:
o From [RFC1035], A, CNAME, HINFO, MB, MG, MINFO, MR, MX, NS, NULL,
PTR, SOA, TXT and WKS.
o From [RFC1183], AFSDB, ISDN, RP, RT and X25.
o From [RFC1706], NSAP.
o From [RFC1712], GPOS.
o From [RFC1876], LOC.
o From [RFC2163], PX.
o From [RFC2230], KX.
o From [RFC2538], CERT.
o From [RFC2672], DNAME.
o From [RFC2782], SRV.
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
o From [RFC2845], TSIG.
o From [RFC2874], A6.
o From [RFC2930], TKEY.
o From [RFC2931], SIG.
o From [RFC3123], APL.
o From [RFC3445], KEY.
o From [RFC3403], NAPTR.
o From [RFC3596], AAAA.
o From [RFC4025], IPSECKEY.
o From [RFC4034], DNSKEY, DS, NSEC and RRSIG.
o From [RFC4255], SSHFP.
o From [RFC4408], SPF.
o From [RFC4431], DLV.
o From [RFC4701], DHCID.
o From [RFC5155], NSEC3 and NSEC3PARAM.
Obsolete DNS resource records are not supported. Neither are the NB
and NBSTAT RR types defined in [RFC1002].
2.5. Exclusions and limitations
The focus of dnsxml is DNS data only and dnsxml is not intended as a
replacement for the DNS protocol. For this reason there are a number
of parts of DNS that are not represented in dnsxml:
o It is not possible to define all the parts of a DNS datagram in
dnsxml. There is no XML element in dnsxml that represents the
header section of a DNS datagram or the question section.
o There is no representation of the OPT pseudo-RR because OPT, as
described in [RFC2671], "pertains to a particular transport level
message and not to any actual DNS data"
For clarity:
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
o No use is made of Master File Format [RFC1035], section 5.1.
o dnsxml is not intended to obsolete the presentation format of RR
types as specified in their normative RFCs.
o dnsxml is not intended to limit the presentation formats of future
RR types.
3. The XML syntax and XML schema for DNS RRs
These are examples of resource records represented in this syntax:
<A owner="example.com." class="IN" ttl="86400" address="192.0.2.1"/>
<TXT>Any text here</TXT>
and this is an example of an RRSet:
<RRSet owner="example.com." class="IN" type="A" ttl="86400">
<A address="192.0.2.1"/>
<A address="192.0.2.2"/>
</RRSet>
3.1. General features
3.1.1. Unique XML element for each RR type
Each DNS RR type has a corresponding element. That ensures that the
schema definition can constrain the allowable attributes on a per RR
basis. It also meets the design goal of clear, unambiguous and easy
to read.
3.1.2. Representation of RDATA
Most RDATA is represented in attributes as this significantly reduces
the verbosity of the XML. Some RDATA is represented as the content
of the element.
3.1.2.1. RDATA represented as XML attributes
For each element that represents an RR type, the attributes specified
correspond to those specified in the normative RFC that defines the
RDATA for that RR type. For example, the MX element has the specific
attributes of 'preference' and 'exchange' as specified in [RFC1035].
Extensive use is made of the XML Schema
[W3C.REC-xmlschema-1-20041028] attribute 'use="required"' by which
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
the use of an attribute in conforming documents is mandated. This is
used when the normative RFC for that RR type states that an RDATA
field 'MUST' exist.
The type of an attribute is chosen to represent the presentation
format for the RDATA field specified in the relevant RFC. For
example a field specified as 32 bit unsigned integer is represented
using the XML Schema [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028] type of
'unsignedInt'.
Where there are multiple presentation formats for a single RDATA
field, the defined type is a union of two built-in types.
3.1.2.2. RDATA represented as element content
Some RDATA is better suited to be represented as the content of an
element rather than as an attribute. The following criteria have
been used as a general guide to determine when to use this method fo
representation:
o the RDATA is anonymous. In other words the RDATA field is simply
labelled as RDATA and no other label is given;
o the RDATA is of variable length or is expected to be long enough
that representing it in an attribute will make it hard to read;
o the text representation of the RDATA in the normative RFC allows
it to be split across multiple lines.
To aid the implementer the following table lists the elements that
allow or require content:
+----------+--------------------+-------------------+----------+
| Element | RDATA field | Type | Nillable |
+----------+--------------------+-------------------+----------+
| APL | -anonymous- | string | yes |
| NULL | -anonymous- | string | yes |
| SPF | -anonymous- | string | no |
| TXT | -anonymous- | string | no |
| TYPE | -anonymous- | hexWithWhitespace | no |
| DLV | digest | hexWithWhitespace | no |
| DS | digest | hexWithWhitespace | no |
| SSHFP | fingerprint | hexWithWhitespace | no |
| TKEY | other data | hexWithWhitespace | yes |
| TSIG | other data | hexWithWhitespace | yes |
| WKS | bitmap | hexWithWhitespace | no |
| CERT | certificate or CRL | base64Binary | no |
| DHCID | -anonymous- | base64Binary | no |
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
| DNSKEY | public key | base64Binary | no |
| IPSECKEY | public key | base64Binary | no |
| KEY | public key | base64Binary | no |
| RRSIG | signature | base64Binary | no |
| SIG | signature | base64Binary | no |
+----------+--------------------+-------------------+----------+
Table 1
More information on the types used to represent variable length
binary data can be found in Section 3.3.7.
3.1.3. Use of XML Schema
This schema is written using XML Schema
[W3C.REC-xmlschema-1-20041028] and [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028]
because this is a W3C standard and provides the necessary level of
flexibility to correctly specify the preferred syntax. Other schema
languages could have been used just as well.
3.1.4. Use of XML Namespaces
XML Namespaces [W3C.REC-xml-names-20091208] need to be used in the
schema to reference the defined types. Any document validated
against dnsxml must contain a namespace reference in order for it to
validate properly. For example
<dnsxml xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:dns"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:dns dnsxml-1.0.xsd">
In that example the default namespace is set to refer to elements and
attributes from dnsxml. A third party extension could be included in
the namespace declarations, with a specified prefix, and so all use
of the extension would be clearly identified by use of that prefix.
This is described more fully in Section 3.4.
3.2. Elements and RRs
3.2.1. Base RR element and base attributes
All elements that represent RRs are derived from an abstract element.
All elements include the attribute group 'baseAttributes' that
provide the 'class', 'owner', 'ttl' and 'rdlength' attributes. The
elements that represent RRs are defined using the XML Schema
[W3C.REC-xmlschema-1-20041028] feature of substitutionGroup to
substitute for the abstract RR element.
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
This same mechanism is used by any new RR types that are defined in
extensions, which ensures they are treated equally to built-in
elements rather than needing to appear in a separate extension
element. This is covered further in Section 3.4.1
It should be noted that, as this is an abstract element, it cannot be
used in an XML document that is to be validated by dnsxml.
3.2.2. RRset element
The schema has an element called 'RRset' that represents an RRset,
using the definition from [RFC2136] of a set of RRs that share the
same 'owner', 'class' and 'type' RDATA fields, each of which is
represented as attributes. In addition a 'ttl' attribute is
specified because [RFC2181] requires all the RRs in an RRSet to share
the same ttl.
(If an RR type is ever defined with the mnemonic of 'RRSET', this
would present future versions of dnsxml with a naming conflict.)
Any element that represents an RR can be used either standalone or
within an RRset element.
The RRset element may be empty to represent an empty RRset.
The RRset element implementation in dnsxml has a number of
limitations to the validation that it performs. These could
theoretically be fixed but would require such significant alterations
to the schema that a number of important characteristics, including
extensibility, simplicity and ease of use, would be lost.
The validation limitations of the RRset element are:
o An RRset element may contain elements that represent different DNS
RR types from the type specified for the RRset element. The
processing behaviour of such errant elements is left to the
application to decide.
o It is possible for the elements within an RRset element to have
'class', 'owner' and 'ttl' attributes that contradict those of the
RRset element. The processing behaviour of such errant elements
is left to the application to decide.
o [RFC2136] lists a number of RR types (SOA, WKS and CNAME) that can
only appear once in an RRset. This restriction is not enforced in
this schema.
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
This may mean that the RRset element is used by appplications as a
general container for a set of RRs, which is quite different from the
normative use of an RRset in DNS.
3.2.3. TYPE element for holding unknown RR types and raw RR data
To fit with the convention of naming the element after the RR type
mnemonic it would be preferable to have 65535 different elements with
names of the form TYPEnnnnn, but this would make the schema
unnecessarily long and slow to process. Instead an element called
TYPE is included, named in the spirit of [RFC3597] that can hold an
RR of any type. This has an attribute 'rrtype' that holds the DNS
type as an unsignedShort (type mnemonics cannot be used here) and the
raw data is represented as content of the element. The optional base
attribute 'rdlength' can be set if required. See Section 3.3.11 for
more information on the 'rdlength' attribute.
No use is made of the special token '\#' specified in [RFC3597] to
indicate the start of the RDATA for a TYPE RR as this is superfluous
in the XML representation.
To comply with the [RFC3597] specification of the presentation format
for an RR of an unknown type, the 'rdata' attribute of the TYPE
element is of the type hexBinary.
This element can also be used to contain 'broken' DNS data.
3.2.4. CLASS
The 'class' attribute is a union of three types, allowing three
different representation formats:
1. The defined mnemonics of [RFC6195], section 3.2. The mnemonics
of NONE, * and ANY are included for completeness;
2. The CLASSnnnnn mnemonic in conformance with [RFC3597], section 5.
3. An integer in the range 0-65535
dnsxml does not set a default of "IN" for CLASS as this would be
incorrect for some RR types including TKEY as defined in [RFC2930].
Nor is the 'class' attribute required.
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
3.2.5. Top level container element
There is an element in the schema called 'dnsxml' that does not
represent any DNS data. It is provided as an optional top-level
container element, which can be used in a document as the opening
element and contain an arbitrary list of 'RRSet' elements and
elements representing RRs. However it does not have to be used, as
both the 'RRSet' element and the elements representing RRs are
declared as top level elements and so can be used directly in a valid
document. It would be sensible for the 'dnsxml' element to be used
in document that only references this schema (a standalone document),
or as a container for a set of elements.
For example, a standalone document might look like this:
<dnsxml xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:dns"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:dns dnsxml-1.0.xsd">
<A owner="example1" class="IN" ttl="86400" address="192.0.2.2" />
<A owner="example2" class="IN" ttl="86400" address="192.0.2.1" />
</dnsxml>
Whereas a fragment of a document where dnsxml is embedded, might look
like this:
:
<someApp>
<someCommand>
<dns:A owner="example2" class= IN" ttl="86400"
address="192.0.2.1" />
</someCommand>
</someApp>
:
3.3. Attributes and RDATA
3.3.1. Semantic equivalence of RDATA
Fields that share the same semantic use (for example an IP address or
domain name) use the same defined types or the types that are derived
from a common type, in order to enable later semantic inferences to
be developed.
3.3.2. Anonymous RDATA
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
The SPF, TXT and DHCID RR types have a single anonymous RDATA field
just referred to as the RDATA in the normative RFC. For each of
these the attribute that represents the RDATA is called 'rdata'.
3.3.3. IP addresses in RDATA
All attributes that contain IPv4 address are defined to be of type
'ip4AddressType', which uses a regular expression to validate that
the content of the attribute is a valid IPv4 address. Attributes
that hold IPv6 addresses are similarly defined to be of type
'ip6Addresstype', which also uses a regular expression to validate
the content of the attribute.
In addition the type 'ipAddressType' exists as a union of
'ip4AddressType' and 'ip6AddressType' for use in the APL RR type.
3.3.4. Domain names in RDATA
Attributes for RDATA fields that are used for domain names are all of
the type 'domainType'. This is defined to be a 'string' with the
maximum length restricted. A later development for a future version
may be to validate the contents of these attributes using a regular
expression.
3.3.5. XML in RDATA
Any data in attributes that represent an RDATA field that can contain
XML MUST be escaped using the rules given in [W3C.REC-xml-20081126]
Because escaping is a standard part of XML, no specific type is
defined to use for those fields where escaping may be required.
3.3.6. Unparsed data in RDATA
A number of RDATA fields are defined in RFCs as containing any text
data. Any data in the attributes that represent these RDATA fields
MUST be escaped following the rules given in [W3C.REC-xml-20081126]
3.3.7. Variable length binary data in RDATA
There are a number of examples where RDATA contains a binary field
such as set of flags or a bit map field. For example WKS has a
variable length bit map field, with no defined presentation format.
These fields are represented either by the defined type of
'hexWithWhitespace'or the built-in type of 'base64Binary' depending
on context. XML Schema [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028] in turn
references [RFC2045] for the definition of base64. The built-in type
of 'hexBinary' is not suitable because it does not allow whitespace,
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
whereas the presentation format of many RR types does for
hexadecimally presented RDATA.
It should be noted that the NSEC3 RR type has the Next Hashed Owner
Name field that may be up to 255 octets long but whitespace in the
presentation format is forbidden and so a value that is 255 octets
long will have readability problems whether it is an attribute or
element content. For simplicity this is encoded as an attribute of
defined type 'base32HexRestricted' that uses a regular expression to
validate the allowable characters.
3.3.8. Preferences in RDATA
A number of RR types have a preference RDATA field, namely KX, MX,
PX, RT, NAPTR. The attributes that represent the preference field
for these RR types are all defined to be of the type 'preferenceType'
on the potentially contentious grounds that they are semantically
equivalent.
Additionally the IPSECKEY RR type has a precedence RDATA field, which
is defined as being semantically equivalent to the preference RDATA
field of the MX RR type. The attribute representing this field is
therefore also defined as being of type 'preferenceType'.
3.3.9. Seconds (units of time) in RDATA
Many RDATA fields are defined as unsigned integers that record a
number of seconds. There are a number of different types of time
field:
o Fields such as the 'refresh' field of the SOA RR type, are defined
as an interval. The attributes that represent these fields are
defined as being of type 'secondsInterval32Type'.
o Fields such as the 'signature expiration' field of the RRSIG RR
type, contain the number of seconds since the unix Epoch. This is
in turn comes in a number of variants:
* The 'timesigned' field of the TSIG RR type, which has the wire
format of a 48 bit unsigned integer and the corresponding
attribute is defined as being of type
'secondsSinceEpoch48Type';.
* Those that use a 32 bit unsigned integer and so are defined as
being of type 'secondsSinceEpoch32Type', which is a restriction
of 'secondSinceEpoch48Type'
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
* Those that use a 32 bit unsigned integer but whose presentation
format also allows a text representation of the form
'YYYYMMDDHHmmSS' such as the 'signatureexpiration' field of
RRSIG. These are defined as being of type
'secondsSinceEpochTextType', which is a union of
'secondsSinceEpoch32Type' and a 14 character string.
o Fields such as the 'ttl' field of all RR types, contain an
interval but with specific semantic usage of Time To Live.
Semantic equivalence is maintained by all the time types being
derived from a common type 'secondsBaseType'.
3.3.10. RCODE in RDATA
Attributes that represent an RCODE are either of type 'rcode16Type'
or 'rcode12Type' depending on the number of bits in the corresponding
RDATA field. These are all derived from the 'baseRcode16Type' to
provide semantic equivalence.
3.3.11. RDATA field that specifies the length of another RDATA field
The Resource Record format as defined in [RFC1035] includes an
'rdlength' field. There is a corresponding base attribute called
'rdlength' that is optional. This attribute is of type
'rdataLengthType', which is limited to an unsigned 16 bit integer.
Numerous RR types including NSEC3, TKEY and TSIG have an RDATA field
that specifies the length of another RDATA field in octets. The
attributes that represent these fields all share the same type of
'rdataLengthType', or 'rdataLength8Type', the latter being limited to
an unsigned 8 bit integer.
It could be argued that RDATA fields that hold the length of other
RDATA fields do not need to be included in dnsxml as these values can
be calculated directly from the data with certainty. However these
fields have been included for completeness and for unknown future
uses, but they are generally defined as 'use="optional"' to allow for
applications that will calculate the length directly.
3.3.12. Mnemonics for integer RDATA
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
A number of RR types, for example DNSKEY, RRSIG, DS and DLV, have
fields in their RDATA that are integer types but also have string
mnemonics. The attributes that represent these fields are defined as
a union of two simple types, one that allows integer representation
and one that allows a string representation. The string
representation is restricted to the known mnemonics but the integer
values are not restricted to those for which a mnemonic is defined.
A number of sets of mnemonics are defined in the IANA registry
[dns-sec-alg-numbers]. If a new mnemonic is defined by IANA after
the definition of this protocol, a new version of dnsxml will need to
be issued for that to be incorporated into the schema. Until that
time the mnemonic will fail validation and instead the integer the
mnemonic refers must be used or the TYPE syntax of [RFC3597].
Mnemonics are only defined in the schema where they appear in a
normative RFC and not where they appear in an online database, such
as the allowable values of 'host' and 'cpu' in the HINFO RR type.
Various RFCs previously referenced have been used as the normative
references for the lists of mnemonics and in addition to those
[RFC4509], [RFC5702], [RFC5933] and [RFC6605], have been used for
DNSSEC algorithm mnemonics. [RFC6195] has been used as the normative
reference for the mnemonics for 'class' and 'rcode'.
3.3.13. Cryptographic algorithms and digest types in RDATA
There are two sets of cryptographic algorithms and digest types
specified in RDATA:
o Those specified for DNSSEC RFCs. The CERT RR type algorithm type
references the DNSSEC types for its RDATA. The attributes that
represent this RDATA are defined to be of defined type
'dnssecAlgorithmType'.
o Those specified in [RFC4255]for SSHFP. The terminology is also
different with the 'fptype' RDATA of SSSHFP being semantically
equivalent to the 'digest type' RDATA of DNSSEC RR types. The
attributes that represent this RDATA are defined to be of types
'sshAlgorithmType' and 'sshDigestType'.
These attributes that represent these different RDATA are derived
from the common base type of 'baseAlgorithmType', preserving semantic
equivalence.
3.3.14. RDATA of the KEY and SIG RRs
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
The KEY and SIG RRs are unusual in that their wire formats are
identical to other RR types (DNSKEY and RRSIG respectively) but their
allowable values are different. This leads to some notable design
decisions for dnsxml:
o The 'flags' RDATA fields of KEY and DNSKEY are both functionally
equivalent as they flag the use of the key material, but the
allowable values are different as [RFC4034] allows bit 15 to be
set in DNSKEY, whereas [RFC3445] forbids that for KEY. Given this
divergence, the two 'flags' attributes are both defined as being
of type 'unsignedShort' rather than sharing a common defined type
to allow for semantic inference.
o While the 'protocol' RDATA field for both the KEY and DNSKEY RR
types are currently semantically and functionally identical the
corresponding attributes do not use a common defined type for
either semantic or functional equivalence. This decision is taken
because the two fields are defined independently and so may
diverge as the 'flags' fields have done.
o The 'type covered' RDATA field of SIG was originally used to hold
an RR type. The combination of [RFC2931] and [RFC4034] changes
this field to only have the allowable value of 0. It is the
understanding of the authors that this changes means that this
field no longer represents an RR type. Consequently the attribute
'typecovered' in the SIG element is defined as being of type
'unsignedShort' and no semantic link is made with any other
attribute that holds an RR type, nor can an RR type mnemonic be
used as a value for this attribute.
3.3.15. Lists of RR types in RDATA
A number of RR types including RRSIG and NSEC have RDATA that
contains a list of RR types. This is implemented as a list of RR
type mnemonics using the XML Schema 'list' feature. The TYPE
representation as specified in [RFC3597], section 5 is fully
supported.
3.3.16. RDATA of the APL RR type
The APL RR type [RFC3123] is unusual as the representation format
specified is a complex encoding of the RDATA whereby the RDATA fields
appear in a different order from the wire format and additional
separator characters are used. To address this complexity, the APL
element provides for two different mechanisms to specify RDATA:
1. using individual attributes that correspond to the individual
RDATA fields; or
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
2. using a single 'rdata' attribute that contains the textual
representation specified in [RFC3123]
To enable these two different mechanisms, the various attributes are
optional and so it may be possible for attributes to be ommitted or
for the two different mechanisms to be used simultaneously. It is
left to the application to decide what action to take in either of
these cases.
It should be noted that the 'afdpart' attribute does not fully
correspond to the wire format of the RDATA field that it represents.
The wire format specification is for only the octets covered by the
'prefixlength' to be present, whereas the attibute requires a full
and valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.
It should be noted that the 'n' attribute, if it appears, can only
contain the '!' character.
3.3.17. Imprecise RFCs on signed/unsigned integers in RDATA
Some RFCs are not clear on whether a specified RDATA field is a
signed or unsigned integer. This syntax has made a reasoned choice.
For example the 'refresh' field within the SOA RR type definition in
[RFC1035]is not explicitly defined as signed or unsigned, but it
would not make sense if a signed integer was used here.
3.3.18. Dependency rules in RDATA
There is no validation of the dependency rules that specify that the
value set in one RDATA field limits or specifies the allowable values
that may appear in another field of the same RR. For example, as
defined for the IPSECKEY RR type.
3.4. Extending the schema
3.4.1. The extension mechanism
All elements that represent RRs are specified using the same
mechanism and this is available for the development of third-party
extensions.
The schema defines an abstract element called 'RR'. Being abstract,
the element 'RR' cannot be instantiated; it is just a placeholder
that is designed to be replaced by elements that represent DNS RR.
The definition of RR is as follows
<element name="RR" abstract="true" />
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
To create an element that represents a new RR type the type for that
element is first be created. This is done in one of two ways
depending on whether or not the RDATA is to be represented solely in
attributes.
If the RDATA is to be represented solely in attributes then the type
for the element is defined as a 'complexType' that contains the
relevant attributes. The following example is the type for the A
element:
<complexType name="AType">
<attributeGroup ref="dns:baseAttributes"/>
<attribute name="address" type="dns:ip4AddressType"
use="required"/>
</complexType>
If one field of the RDATA is to be represented as content of the
element then the type for the attribute is defined as a 'complexType'
that contain 'simpleContent' that determines the type of the content
and the list of attributes. The following example is the type for
the TXT element:
<complexType name="TXTType">
<simpleContent>
<extension base="string">
<attributeGroup ref="dns:baseAttributes"/>
</extension>
</simpleContent>
</complexType>
All the 'simpleContent' in dnsxml is an extenstion of 'string',
'base64Binary' or 'hexWithWhitespace' as listed in Table 1.
The examples above show that the base attributes of 'class', 'ttl',
'owner' and 'rdlength' are included in the element type definition by
the inclusion of the attribute group named 'baseAttributes'.
All elements that represent RRs are then defined using the
substitutionGroup syntax of XML Schema [W3C.REC-xmlschema-1-20041028]
and referencing the newly defined type.
For example, the A element is defined in exactly this manner:
<element name="A" substitutionGroup="dns:RR" type="dns:AType"/>
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
This memo defines a number of rules for creating extension:
1. The element representing the new RR type MUST include the
attribute group 'baseAttributes'. This is true even if 'class'
and 'ttl' attributes are meaningless as they for SIG(0).
2. All RDATA fields MUST be represented.
3. The attributes that represent the RDATA of the new RR MUST reuse
existing types wherever possible and where new types are created,
every effort SHOULD be made to maintain semantic equivalence.
3.4.2. Creating an extension
The purpose of an extension is to provide syntax for a DNS RR type
that is not included in dnsxml. Extensions are specified in a new
XML Schema instance document, which has the following
characteristics:
o declares its own XML Namespace [W3C.REC-xml-names-20091208];
o references dnsxml both as a namespace and importing that schema;
o uses the extension mechanism to create a new element to represent
an RR as described in Section 3.4.1.
An extension schema to add an element representing a new RR called
EXAMPLE where all the RDATA is represented in attributes, would look
as follows:
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<schema targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/example-schema"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:ex="http://www.example.org/example-schema"
xmlns:dns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:dns">
<annotation>
<documentation>Example extension to dnsxml</documentation>
</annotation>
<import namespace="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:dns"
schemaLocation="dnsxml-1.0.xsd"/>
<element name="EXAMPLE" substitutionGroup="dns:RR"
type="ex:EXAMPLEType" />
<complexType name="EXAMPLEType">
<attributeGroup ref="dns:baseAttributes"/>
<attribute name="exampleRDATA" type="dns:domainType" />
</complexType>
</schema>
If the RR type is
3.4.3. Using an extension
With an extension declared as described in Section 3.4.2 it can then
be referenced in a XML document that also references dnsxml. The use
of namespaces will keep the references separate.
<dnsxml xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:dns"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:dns dnsxml-1.0.xsd"
xmlns:ex="http://www.example.org/example-schema"
xsi:schemaLocation=
"http://www.example.org/example-schema example.xsd">
<ex:EXAMPLE owner="example" class="IN" ttl="86400"
exampleRDATA="whatever.tld" />
<A owner="example" class="IN" ttl="86400" address="192.0.2.1" />
</dnsxml>
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
3.5. Implementing new versions of the schema
If a new version of the schema is developed that includes within it
new RR types already described in third party extensions, the use of
XML Namespaces [W3C.REC-xml-names-20091208] will ensure that the
third party extension can continue to be used.
If a new version of dnsxml were now available and an XML document
updated to use that, then the document would still validate
correctly. If the author then wanted to use the 'example' RR from
the new version of dnsxml as well as the version from the extension
then they could do so as it sits in a different namespace.
3.5.1. Use of version specific namespaces
This memo specifies two URNs that can be used to refer to dnsxml.
The first of these is a version independent reference
'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:dns', the second is a version specific
reference 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:dns-1.0'. A document can use
either reference, depending on need.
4. Full schema definition
In the following schema definition a number of regular expressions
have been split across multiple lines to enable them to be included
in this memo. To use this schema correctly these regular expressions
must be combined back into a single line without whitespace or they
will not work correctly.

5. Acknowledgements
We would like to thank Alex Dalitz and Roy Arends for their review of
early versions of this draft.
The regular expression for IPv6 addresses was published by Dartware
and altered by the authors to fit with the limited regular expression
syntax of XML Schema.
6. IANA Considerations
This memo uses URNs to describe XML namespaces
[W3C.REC-xml-names-20091208] and XML schemas conforming to a registry
mechanism described in [RFC3688]. Three URI assignments need to be
registered by the IANA.
Registration request for the dnsxml namespace:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:dns
Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
memo.
Daley, et al. Expires February 01, 2014 [Page 49]
Internet-Draft dnsxml July 2013
XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.
Registration request for the dnsxml version specific namespace:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:dns-1.0
Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
memo.
XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.
Registration request for the dnsxml XML schema:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:dns-1.0
Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
memo.
XML: See Section 4 of this memo.
7. Security Considerations
This memo includes no security considerations.
