Description
The specification should be updated as follows:
1. The $preferred-id operation should not return return results from NamingSystem resources which have a status of "retired".
2. Better handling of NamingSystem resources with period values as follows:
2.1 An optional input parameter — period — should be provided for clients to assert the period for which the preferred id is requested.
2.2 If the period input parameter is provided,
2.2.1 Only a NamingSystem resource which covers this period should be considered.
2.2.2 If multiple NamingSystem resources cover this period then an error should be returned.
2.3 If the period is NOT provided,
2.3.1 Only a NamingSystem resource covering all periods should be considered.
2.3.2 If multiple NamingSystem resources cover all periods then an error should be returned.
