Hi Martine,

Thank you for your reply.  We have updated our files accordingly. Note that we marked 
“CoAP” as well known on the Abbreviations List 
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rpc/wiki/doku.php?id=abbrev_list> and removed the 
expansion from the title. Please review and let us know if any further changes are 
needed or if you approve the document in its current form.

Note that we will await approvals from each author prior to moving forward with 
formatting updates.

Dear RFC editor team,

sorry for the late reply. Find our answers and additional requests inline.

Authors,
While reviewing this document during AUTH48, please resolve (as necessary) the 
following questions, which are also in the source file.
1) <!-- [rfced] FYI - We updated [I-D.ietf-core-dns-over-coap] to [PRE-RFC9953]
for now. We will make the final updates in RFCXML (i.e., remove "PRE-").
-->

ACK.

2) <!--[rfced] Author Names
a) Thomas, we note "T. C. Schmidt" in the document header; however, the
majority of past RFCs have used "T. Schmidt". Which form do you prefer?

 From Thomas offline: I prefer "T. C. Schmidt".

b) Martine, please confirm if you prefer "M. S. Lenders" or "M. Lenders"
in the document header.
Note that we will apply your responses to both this document and
RFC-to-be 9953.
-->

Yes, I prefer "M. S. Lenders". Please also make sure, that my initials are spelled out as "M. 
S. Lenders" in the "[DoC-paper]" reference of RFC-to-be 9953. As far as I can tell, this is 
already the case for IETF-internal references, but please check also in the other references.

3) <!--[rfced] Document Title
a) Please note that the document title has been updated as follows.
Abbreviations have been expanded per Section 3.6 of RFC 7322 ("RFC Style
Guide").
In addition, is "Specification" essential to the title or may it be removed
for conciseness?
Original (document title):
    ALPN ID Specification for CoAP over DTLS
Current:
    The Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) ID Specification for
    the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) over DTLS
Perhaps:
    Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) ID for
    the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) over DTLS

Please consider CoAP for inclusion in the list of abbreviations that are 
well-known (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rpc/wiki/doku.php?id=abbrev_list). There 
have been over 20 RFCs in which it has been expanded, exceeding (for example) 
the number of published documents on the well-known 6LoWPAN. For people only 
tangentially familiar with the topic (say, someone coming from competing 
technologies), chances are they are even *more* familiar with the acronym than 
the expansion.

This document would be a particularly good starting point for treating it as 
well-known because the document is of no use to anyone who is not already 
familiar with CoAP. Our preferred title would be

  Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) ID for CoAP over DTLS

If that is really no option, we like the second proposal better.

  Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) ID for the Constrained
  Application Protocol (CoAP) over DTLS

See also 
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/auth48archive/jNx8TbolOmUX39l-Hgq2BRNmuV4/

b) For the short title that spans the header of the PDF file, should "CoRE
ALPN" be updated to "ALPN ID for CoAP over DTLS" to more closely match the
document title?
Original (short title):
    CoRE ALPN
Perhaps:
    ALPN ID for CoAP over DTLS
-->

ACK.

4) <!-- [rfced] Abstract: Should the abstract mention DTLS?
Original:
    This document specifies an Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation
    (ALPN) ID for transport-layer-secured Constrained Application
    Protocol (CoAP) services.
Perhaps (similar to text in the Introduction):
    This document specifies an Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation
    (ALPN) ID for Constrained Application
    Protocol (CoAP) services that are secured by DTLS.
-->

ACK.

5) <!-- [rfced] Introduction: We updated "by transport layer security using 
DTLS"
to "by TLS using DTLS" here. Would further updating as shown below improve
this sentence?
Original:
    This document
    specifies an ALPN ID for CoAP services that are secured by transport
    layer security using DTLS.
Current:
    This document
    specifies an ALPN ID for CoAP services that are secured by TLS
    using DTLS.
Perhaps:
    This document
    specifies an ALPN ID for CoAP services that are secured
    by DTLS.
-->

Please use the "Perhaps" version since the text in the "Current" version is 
technically incorrect.

6) <!--[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.
-->

Thanks! To the best of our abilities, we did not find any potentially remaining 
non-inclusive wordings in the document.
