Hi, This is a simple and useful document. I understand its need and I support its publication. There is however one aspect that I believe deserves some discussion. The second paragraph in the Introduction claims: > As part of these specifications efforts, there is a need to identify identifiers in a managed namespace that are unique and persistent. To ensure that this namespace's uniqueness is absolute, a registration of a specific Unified Resource Name (URN) URN Syntax [RFC2141] Namespace Identifier (NID) for use by MEF is being specified in this document, in full conformance with the NID registration process specified in URN Namespace Definition Mechanism [RFC3406]. However, the NID registration process described in RFC 3406 (section 4.3) mentions a couple of mandatory sections that are not included in this RFC as such: > The RFC must include a "Namespace Considerations" section, which outlines the perceived need for a new namespace (i.e., where existing namespaces fall short of the proposer's requirements). ... > The RFC must also include a "Community Considerations" section, which indicates the dimensions upon which the proposer expects its community to be able to benefit by publication of this namespace as well as how a general Internet user will be able to use the space if they care to do so. Part of the information mentioned in RFC 3406 is present here, but there are no "Namespace Considerations" and "Community Considerations" sections. It seems to me that we should either drop the 'full conformance" claim, or reorganize the I-D to include the sections mentioned in 3406. I hope this helps.
