Mark, While reviewing this document during AUTH48, please resolve (as necessary) the following questions, which are also in the source file.
1) <!-- [rfced] Will readers understand what "it" refers to here? Original: In addition to sharing invalidation events, the relationships indicated by grouping can also be used by caches to optimise their operation; for example, it could be used to inform the operation of cache eviction algorithms. Perhaps: In addition to sharing invalidation events, the relationships indicated by grouping can also be used by caches to optimise their operation; for example, grouping could be used to inform the operation of cache eviction algorithms. Or: In addition to sharing invalidation events, the relationships indicated by grouping can also be used by caches to optimise their operation (e.g., to inform the operation of cache eviction algorithms). --> 2) <!-- [rfced] Section 3.3.1 of [STRUCTURED-FIELDS] is titled "Integers". Was the text/reference below instead meant to point to Section 3.3.3, which is titled "Strings"? Also, may we update "Cache-Groups HTTP Response Header" in the first sentence to "Cache-Groups response header field" for consistency with other instances in the document? Original: The Cache-Groups HTTP Response Header is a List of Strings (Sections 3.1 and 3.3.1 of [STRUCTURED-FIELDS]). ... The Cache-Group-Invalidation response header field is a List of Strings (Sections 3.1 and 3.3.1 of [STRUCTURED-FIELDS]).

The Cache-Group-Invalidation response header field is a List of Strings (Sections 3.1 and 3.3.3 of [STRUCTURED-FIELDS]). --> 3) <!-- [rfced] Are the quotation marks needed around "grouping" and "cascade" in these sentences? Original: This specification introduces a means of describing the relationships between stored responses in HTTP caches, "grouping" them by associating a stored response with one or more strings. ... Note that further grouped invalidations are not triggered by a grouped invalidation; i.e., this mechanism does not "cascade."

Note that further grouped invalidations are not triggered by a grouped invalidation; i.e., this mechanism does not cascade. --> 4) <!-- [rfced] We note inconsistencies in the terms below throughout the text. Please review all instances and let us know if any updates are needed. list vs. List string vs. String --> 5) <!-- [rfced] Please review the "Inclusive Language" portion of the online Style Guide <https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language> and let us know if any changes are needed. Updates of this nature typically result in more precise language, which is helpful for readers. Note that our script did not flag any words in particular, but this should still be reviewed as a best practice. --> Thank you.

The parties include: * your coauthors * [email protected] (the RPC team) * other document participants, depending on the stream (e.g., IETF Stream participants are your working group chairs, the responsible ADs, and the document shepherd). * [email protected], which is a new archival mailing list to preserve AUTH48 conversations; it is not an active discussion list: * More info: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-announce/yb6lpIGh-4Q9l2USxIAe6P8O4Zc * The archive itself: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/auth48archive/ * Note: If only absolutely necessary, you may temporarily opt out of the archiving of messages (e.g., to discuss a sensitive matter). If needed, please add a note at the top of the message that you have dropped the address. When the discussion is concluded, [email protected] will be re-added to the CC list and its addition will be noted at the top of the message. You may submit your changes in one of two ways: An update to the provided XML file — OR — An explicit list of changes in this format Section # (or indicate Global) OLD: old text NEW: new text You do not need to reply with both an updated XML file and an explicit list of changes, as either form is sufficient. We will ask a stream manager to review and approve any changes that seem beyond editorial in nature, e.g., addition of new text, deletion of text, and technical changes. Information about stream managers can be found in the FAQ. Editorial changes do not require approval from a stream manager.
