Quite excellent and useful. A useful set of bits to be able to which to redirect authors, to be sure. I'm amused that it seems to already have reached version -04 and in true bikeshed manner I'm going to suggest one more sentence. If you skip abstracts, as I often do, the first section seems to not frame the problem you're solving. I'd suggest: - --- The IETF community tends to interpret language commonly used in describing standards according to the rigid definitions of that context. Authors often find that this leads to misunderstandings and misdirected discussions that can slow the exchange of ideas underlying the document. This document is a reminder of the language in question and suggests some alternatives. - --- If you think that solves a problem that only I have, or that the current more brief version is more effective, I'll neither fight the authors on it nor be offended. > The latest version works a bit harder to avoid appearing, itself, > to be giving normative direction... That was a second point that I enjoyed. Write an RFC that prints itself. It MUST be correctly formatted and semantically clear. - -- Ted Faber <theodore.v.faber@xxxxxxxx> Engineering Specialist Computer Systems Research Department 310-336-7373 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJW2HffAAoJEFNjQnOBW8uOUiIP/A/q/crqvHqhcZ8Qc+mzGsxm 7PR5wv9kLwMmLDeUnV/P5cHtRwWkBmXCr9za0rkWDUB7sSEbSJ/8yacUIpOkce6c Wmg+h2jXRTSVQiRO73mhd1fZAnPR9xr8NSaMsTr2lDczmWlTb9QCASOdhnZYXSSr cLwJzjeVRBSTvce08xJe2M9yG/ZUPLUdGbhHQ6R30SFz2TZRLjSMpA+7OgJ+3HuL pNySNJtiRKCgqDGBG3Y6Zgv++dbVZtr0LedPWLH0iBIfROz6Zyom9159vI3aGpSx Hgx3a13UI8kNOfsDd48ksVfddDc+BUAkSWTNjuPE38Uy1fVgTd9us9WhVS9ZK+jB gDb5Xmmnkpd9pLwMTWtzIzCmnbq9ZkjrbHJA/b5YyDSg6fTIAjwr04OtB041M35g RuWhR7TFeD8CA2XyM5lFiudN8jcJ0MNhgSkkxuU+qRbT+rGGXn9wrdjEwnVOJPVG cHsVfJKsAYAHCHLKxpaNP85WY2ubEzQuC4Tb4dVK3Vv8Gyp5CAC+MOrcc5DviZEG m0z9w0tzuKZ13BxS28qp/HA0bLiEJqjvxrzofdV6/OWrWDjf8FulhMudjcilbRUV AfKoVxYsdbfrt3kK9C95iX7YTp0YpY8nBaQYlVu3VCNmA7WMvFZEdLX5nn9boCKG LQzhk/SHUdA9IWDzAq+i =MnkN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
