This is not a very good example of the need for operational practices.
It represents Google UK’s view of what you can find when you start at “http://rdg.afilias.info/rdap/help”, which includes explicit examples of how to use the RDAP server.
Jim, you're probably right about it not being a good example. I'm more concerned with the information that could be returned in response to an entity query being archived. Side note: the response received for http://rdg.afilias.info/rdap/help is encoded using HTML. Sections 7 and 4.3 of RFC 7483 say it should be JSON-encoded. "The appropriate response to /help queries as defined by [RFC7482] is to use the notices structure as defined in Section 4.3." Would it have been indexed at all if it wasn't HTML? There's an operational practice thing in here somewhere... ;) Scott
