Hi Folks,
David and I would like to hand off this final version to Sam for
publication by Friday. I have performed an initial review and feel that
the changes address the IETF Last Call items.
The changes requested from the IETF Last Call were:
Item 1) Severity Range - The range of the Severity is not bound. The WG
decided that it needs to be bound in the range of 0 to 7 inclusive.
Item 2) Language Tags - BCP47 (RFC 4646) is the IETF standard for language
tags. The document needs to be compliant with this standard. Section
7.3.3 specifies the use of ISO 639 (which was the only reference available
at the time we discussed languages in the mailing list.) Sam asked that
we need to change the language tags to BCP47 to justify our decision. I've
found no compelling reason to continue to use the ISO 639 tags. We need
to change that paragraph to state that BCP47 language tags will be used.
The current "MAY" in Section 7.3.3 should still be used.
Item 3 - Deadlocks - There was a lengthy discussion about using a reliable
delivery mechanism for syslog and how certain circumstances could cause
the loss of messages. (I personally felt it was not addressing any
normative text in the document.) A note about "deadlocks" in Section 8.5
has been requested by Sam. This will need to be short.
Item 4 - IANA - We should review the document to see if there are any IANA
registry values that may be revised by IETF Consensus rather than
Standards Actions. I'll make a review and let you know if I find
anything.
Item 5 - Definitions - The definitions of "sender" "receiver" "relay",
"originator" and "collector" need to be tightened up. They are somewhat
inconsistent now and are required by the -device-mib document.
You may view the differences between -19 and -20 here:

Click on "draft-ietf-syslog-protocol" and select your method of seeing the
diffs from -19.
Please submit any comments you have to the WG that concern how Rainer
addressed these issues in this document.
Thanks,
Chris
