Hi John, Thank you for your comments! I’ll address them in installments, let me start at the end now. > On 2023-06-14, at 06:53, John C Klensin <john-ietf@xxxxxxx> wrote: […] > (3) Robert Sparks's Genart review [1] identifies several other > places where the specification is ambiguous as to what is > actually allowed.

So far, I have created https://github.com/ietf-wg-sedate/draft-ietf-sedate-datetime-extended/issues/46 from the thread, which I think is a good point to discuss. > p.s. as a strictly editorial matter that would not be worth > mentioning except insofar as it is a symptom that the authors > and WG were not quite finished with this document before asking > that an IETF Last Call be initiated, there are five BCP > documents (six entries) listed as Normative References.

The reason is (a) that we forgot one [2], but (b) mainly didn’t make this fully consistent because the referencegroup support in today’s RFCXML/xml2rfc is awful. I’d rather fix BCP13 together with the RPC, and not at this stage. (I don’t think we want to fix BCP14 because we have agreed text in RFC 8174 that does not use a BCP reference.)
