Summary: Ready for publication as Proposed Standard with one minor nit
This is a very easy to read document for such a detail-rich protocol.
Thanks.
Nit:
The introduction calls out email addresses as an example of the kinds of
strings these methods are not intended for use in preparing (along with
LDAP distinguished names). But in the body of the document, email
addresses (or strings that look just like them) are discussed as valid
examples of usernames.
Long answer:
At some point, we modified the definition of the UsernameCaseMapped and
UsernameCasePreserved profiles so that they could be used directly in
HTTP authentication (see Section 2.1 of
draft-ietf-httpauth-basicauth-update) and thus so that we could avoid
having multiple profiles for username-like identifiers. That
necessitated adding the '@' character to the username profiles, but we
never updated the text in the introduction to reflect that fact.
Short answer:
s/email addresses//
