I have an objection on grammatical and aesthetic grounds. This seems particularly appropriate in the context of a "Cosmetic Surgery" review.
2.0 Introduction
The RIPE NCC provides the necessary support to enable resolution of IPv4 and IPv6 address space into domain names. This service is implemented under the in-addr.arpa and ip6.arpa sub domains described in [1] and [2].
"Sub" is a prefix, not an adjective. Please substitute for "sub domains" any of the following: "sub-domains" -- a hyphen is usually appropriate after a prefix; "subdomains" -- a well-established derived word needs no hyphen; "domains" -- no qualifying prefix is actually necessary, as both "in-addr.arpa" and "ip6.arpa" are domains, and the value of emphasizing their subsidiarity in this context is doubtful. Have a good weekend, everyone! /Niall
