Summary: Document is clear, well-written, and short. Thank you!
Major issues: None
Minor issues: After reading the document, I was somewhat
confused as to the definition of fieldSet query parameter.
I think adding a few sentences to Section 2 explaining that
a field set is a string that the server generates which maps
to a set of fields only known to the server would help.
[ML] It seems to me that both the concepts are already conveyed
in the document. Maybe they are not adequately clarified.
The sentence "... whose value is a string identifying a
server-defined set of supported fields.." means that a field set
name and the related list of fields are defined by the server.
With regards to the assumption that a field set is known only by
the server, this is not generally true.
Both the field set names and the related list of fields might
(hopefully should) be shared by as many servers as possible to
facilitate interoperability as described in section 4.
Moreover, the field sets together with other server features are
expected to be described in out-of-band documents like the RDAP
profile.
Finally, as described in section 2.1, the subsetting_metadata
element could provide an in-band information about the supported
field sets that is more reactive to server updates than
out-of-band contents.
Do you think that the concepts above should be furtherly
clarified ?
