You are right in pointing out that the changes made to rfc7810 are the ones mentioned in the appendix.  That was the motivation that originated this work.

However, this document doesn’t just modify rfc7810, it formally declares it Obsolete.  That indicates that we (the WG, etc.) are opening up the whole document for review/comments…which obviously means that Yoshi’s comments are not out of scope.  The WG didn’t change anything else (which is ok), but the IETF Last Call exists to include cross-area review and to allow others (e.g. non-WG participants) to comment.  

In any case, it seems to me that Yoshi’s comments are clarifying questions which may not require changes to the document itself. But I’ll leave that discussion/decision to him and to the TSV ADs.


Note that if what is wanted (by the WG) is to Update rfc7810 (and not Obsolete it), and constrain the text to be reviewed/commented on, then this is not the right document.  That document would have contained only the changes.  We’re still in time to change the direction.  I’m explicitly cc’ing the lsr-chairs so they can make any needed clarification.

Thanks!

Alvaro.


I can appreciate that this may the first time you have looked at RFC7810 - let alone the bis draft. As a result you have commented on content which is common to the bis draft and the RFC it is modifying (RFC 7810). 

While your questions in isolation may be interesting, I believe they are out of scope for the review of the bis draft. What the bis draft is doing is addressing two modest errata - details of which can be found in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-lsr-isis-rfc7810bis-03#appendix-A 
Comments on content not related to those changes is out of scope. 

If you have an interest in this topic and want to comment on the substance of RFC 7810 and its companion document for OSPF RFC 7471, I encourage you to do so. Note that all of your comments (save the one on Security) are also applicable to RFC 7471 - so any agreed upon modification would need to be made to both documents. But I do not want to even start discussing such changes in the context of reviewing the bis draft changes. I hope you can understand why.
