Thank you for informing me of the re-write. A few obvious editorial corrections: EMail: Bill.Simpson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx bsimpson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The former machine hasn't existed since circa 1994, and the latter since circa 1998. Easy Googling has given reviewers one of my half dozen active emails (and notified me of this draft). I've recently retired wsimpson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx that was on most recent RFCs, as that company concluded bankruptcy some time ago. Please replace with my more current email above! (Hopefully, Gmail will be useful for the next Internet Lifetime.) The Introduction has a list of acknowledgments for reviewers. They aren't really introductory. In the past, I've always included them in a separate ACKNOWLEDGMENTS section, following more usual academic practice. That also permits more explicit indication of which individuals proposed which (mis-)features. Please replace the rampant misuse of "e.g." and "i.e." with the more appropriate "for example," "such as," "that is," "specifically," or in many parentheticals simply eliminate it entirely! Also, it would be better to follow the RFC writing practices that I've developed for such things as describing state machines, later cited as exemplary in the Guide for Internet Standards Writers (RFC 2360). I'd hoped that a draft derived from my earlier work would continue the clean style and form, even as it deviates from the substance. And speaking of substance, I'm not convinced this draft is ready for prime time. Far too much continues to be relegated to "further study". For example, multi-homed hosts are fairly common in operational practice, and my original 1992-1993 work included them. After 15 years, greater experience ought to clarify, rather than muddy the waters. This should never have made it to Draft Standard. Moreover, as I've stated before, I'm deeply disappointed that the substance has departed from my original vision: virtually no configuration for hosts or routers, other than identifiers and secrets necessary for security. Although there have been modest improvements in this recent draft, the elimination of explicit security support has retreated ever farther from the goal. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
