It seems odd to me that someone back in '96 went to the hassle of implementing DNS LOC but didn't explicitly specify which reference ellipsoid should be used. Nor does the protocol provide a mechanism, on a per-record basis, to specify which ellipsoid has actually been used.
- yuubi 13y agoRFC1876 says WGS84 in several places, including one of the parts quoted in the Cloudflare article. I don't spot an explicit statement that lat/lon are WGS84 (only altitude, p. 3), but it's the only datum mentioned and assuming that alt is WGS84 and lat/lon something else seems perverse.
