The following errata report has been rejected for RFC7519, "JSON Web Token (JWT)".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5648 -------------------------------------- Status: Rejected Type: Editorial Reported by: Andy Delcambre <adelcam...@gmail.com> Date Reported: 2019-03-08 Rejected by: Roman Danyliw (IESG) Section: 1 Original Text ------------- JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact claims representation format intended for space constrained environments such as HTTP Authorization headers and URI query parameters. JWTs encode claims to be transmitted as a JSON [RFC7159] object that is used as the payload of a JSON Web Signature (JWS) [JWS] structure or as the plaintext of a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) [JWE] structure, enabling the claims to be digitally signed or integrity protected with a Message Authentication Code (MAC) and/or encrypted. JWTs are always represented using the JWS Compact Serialization or the JWE Compact Serialization. The suggested pronunciation of JWT is the same as the English word "jot". Corrected Text -------------- JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact claims representation format intended for space constrained environments such as HTTP Authorization headers and URI query parameters. JWTs encode claims to be transmitted as a JSON [RFC7159] object that is used as the payload of a JSON Web Signature (JWS) [JWS] structure or as the plaintext of a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) [JWE] structure, enabling the claims to be digitally signed or integrity protected with a Message Authentication Code (MAC) and/or encrypted. JWTs are always represented using the JWS Compact Serialization or the JWE Compact Serialization. Notes ----- The suggested pronunciation is strange and confusing. It makes it hard to onboard new people verbally and always requires an explanation of the pronunciation. The standard already has a perfectly reasonable initialism of JWT that clearly refers to JSON Web Tokens. It is jarring to suggest a pronunciation that does not map to the letters of the spec, and in my experience often leads to confusion when used. --VERIFIER NOTES-- This guidance was produced with the consensus of the WG.
