The IESG has received a request from the Applications Area Working Group
WG (appsawg) to consider the following document:
- 'The Multipart/Report Media Type for the Reporting of Mail System
Administrative Messages'
<draft-ietf-appsawg-rfc3462bis-01.txt> as a Draft Standard
The IESG has already approved draft-housley-two-maturity-levels, so
Draft Standard isn't now available as a target maturity level. How is
IESG going to handle this?
Now with respect to document's contents. The Abstract says:
The multipart/report Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)
media type is a general "family" or "container" type for electronic
mail reports of any kind. Although this memo defines only the use of
the multipart/report media type with respect to delivery status
reports, mail processing programs will benefit if a single media type
is used for all kinds of reports.
I propose prepending the phrase "This document defines" and
corresponding change in the 2nd sentence: "Although this document
specifies...". This is how Abstracts are usually written in the current
RFCs.
In Section 1:
[OLD-REPORT] and its antecedent declared the multipart/report media
type for use within the [MIME] construct to create a container for
mail system administrative reports of various kinds.
I propose changing to:
RFC 3462 [OLD-REPORT] and its antecedent specified the multipart/report
media type for use within the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
(MIME)
[MIME] construct to create the container for mail system administrative
reports of various kind. It imposed limitations on multipart/report
being the outermost part of MIME message.
Correspondingly, the second paragraph is to be changed to:
Practical experience has shown that such restriction, while
well-intentioned,
{current text}
In Section 5, it might be useful to provide a list of currently defined
media types that may be used in multipart/report.
