  Geez, that seems downright reasonable.  I can't claim to have been 
involved in any standard-drafting processes, but I'll outline the "API" 
(if you could even call it that) on my dyndns CGI:

- Client hits /dyn (which is ScriptAlias'd to the actual CGI)
- Client can use GET or POST (I'm using perl's CGI module for flexibility)
- CGI checks the following CGI variables for the "username": user, 
username, host, hostname
- CGI checks the following CGI variables for the "password": pw, pass, 
password
- CGI checks for an 'ip' CGI variable, using that instead of REMOTE_ADDR
- "username" to FQDN association is on the backend (manually managed for 
now)
- Depending on the status of the dual_stack flag in the backend 
database, the update will either delete the existing A/AAAA record(s), 
or replace only the relevant record type (outside the scope of the 
update mechanism, but maybe shouldn't be)

  Granted, I wrote my CGI to be flexible, so if different parameters get 
defined by a published standard, I can almost certainly adapt to adhere 
to it.
