Black Review Date: August 9, 2012 IETF LC End Date: August 9, 2012 Summary: This draft is basically ready for publication, but has nits that should be fixed before publication. This draft provides an updated list of the special use IPv4 address blocks that have been allocated by IANA along with explanations of their special uses. I found one nit and idnits found another one. Section 5 - the first sentence in the second paragraph is: The domain name and IP address spaces involve policy issues (in addition to technical issues) so that the requirements of [RFC2860] do not apply generally to those spaces. I'm surprised by "do not apply generally". I would have expected that the policy issues create requirements and constraints above and beyond the requirements in RFC 2860 as opposed to replacing those requirements. idnits 2.12.13 complained about a lot of IP addresses that aren't in the address ranges used for examples. These complaints can be ignored, but idnits did find one actual nit: == Unused Reference: 'RFC6441' is defined on line 346, but no explicit reference was found in the text Thanks, --David ---------------------------------------------------- David L.
