Subject: RE: Final Review: RFC-to-be 10034 (draft-ietf-avtcore-rtp-v3c) in XML

Dear all,

We've gone through the comments and suggestions among the authors. Please see 
attached the xml-file which contains our responses to the comments as well as 
the resulting updates. Please let us know, if you have any further questions or 
suggestions. I believe all the edits are purely editorial in nature improving 
the readability of the draft. For convenience, I've also copied our comments 
below as text.

If there are no further questions or comments, the document is from my part at 
least ready for publication.

Kind Regards and thank you for the editorial work!
-Lauri

Authors,

While reviewing this document during Final Review, please resolve (as 
necessary) the following questions, which are also in the source file.

1) <!-- [rfced] Please insert any keywords (beyond those that appear in the 
title) for use on https://www.rfc-editor.org/search. -->

<!-- [authors] Done. -->

2) <!-- [rfced] May we rephrase this sentence for clarity and easier 
readability?

Original:
   It enables capture of an object or a scene in three dimensions (3D) and its
   playback independent from the original capture position(s) or orientation(s).

Perhaps:
   It enables the three-dimensional (3D) capture and playback of an object or
   scene, independent from the original capture position(s) or orientation(s).
 -->

<!-- [authors] Agree with the proposal. Updated. -->

3) <!-- [rfced] Abbreviations (Section 3.2)

a) In the RFC Series, expansions of abbreviations are typically introduced 
before using abbreviations on their own. For example, "atlas coding layer 
(ACL)" would be shown before simply referring to the term as "ACL" in the text. 
 We note that the abbreviations section is placed after Section 3.1.2, where 
some definitions use abbreviations that are not yet defined. In this case, may 
we move the abbreviations section to appear before Section 3.1.2?

Perhaps (Table of Contents):
  3.  Definitions and Abbreviations
     3.1.  Abbreviations
     3.2.  Definitions
       3.2.1.  General
       3.2.2.  Definitions from the V3C Specification

b) If the Abbreviations are moved as suggested, may we remove the multiple 
expansions of "V3C" in Section 3.1.2?

Original:
   coded visual volumetric video-based coding (V3C) sequence:
   visual volumetric video-based coding (V3C) atlas sub-bitstream:
   visual volumetric video-based coding (V3C) video sub-bitstream:
   visual volumetric video-based coding (V3C) component:
   visual volumetric video-based coding (V3C) parameter set:

Perhaps:
   coded V3C sequence:
   V3C atlas sub-bitstream:
   V3C video sub-bitstream:
   V3C component:
   V3C parameter set:
-->

<!-- [authors] Agree with the proposal a) and b).
   This has been implemented in the draft. -->

4) <!--[rfced] For consistency, we added "DOND" and "DONL" to the Abbreviations 
list (Section 3.2) under "DON" as shown below. Please let us know of any 
objections.

Original:
   DON:    decoding order number

Current
   DON:  decoding order number
   DOND: decoding order number difference
   DONL: decoding order number low
-->

<!-- [authors] Agree with the proposal, except the DONL definition.
   Definition of DONL updated below. -->

5) <!-- [rfced] Should "of volumetric frame" be rephrased as "of a volumetric 
frame" in the following two instances? Or should "volumetric frame" be plural?

Current:
   2D representations, known as V3C video components, of volumetric
   frame are encoded using conventional 2D video codecs.

Perhaps A (singular):
   2D representations, known as V3C video components, of a volumetric
   frame are encoded using conventional 2D video codecs.

Or
Perhaps B (plural):
   2D representations, known as V3C video components, of volumetric
   frames are encoded using conventional 2D video codecs.

...
Current:
   Atlas data, known as V3C atlas component, provides information to
   interpret V3C video components and enables the reconstruction from a
   2D representation back into a 3D representation of volumetric frame.

Perhaps C (singular):
   Atlas data, known as V3C atlas component, provides information to
   interpret V3C video components and enables the reconstruction from a
   2D representation back into a 3D representation of a volumetric frame.

Or
Perhaps D (plural):
   Atlas data, known as V3C atlas component, provides information to
   interpret V3C video components and enables the reconstruction from a
   2D representation back into a 3D representation of volumetric frames.
-->

<!-- [authors] Our preference would be using singular definitions A) and C).
   These are updated below. -->

6) <!-- [rfced] Please review the formatting of Figure 1. Should the pipe 
characters (|) and the plus signs (+) be aligned, or is the current format okay 
as is?
-->

<!-- [authors]: The lengths of the V3C units are not aligned between V3C
   components, so misalignment in the table is ok. Having said that,
  it seems there is a missing empty space in front of the
  "V3C Unit(V3C_OVD)", fixing it would not fix the alignment for the
  rest of the row though. Here are the updated graphics anyway. -->

7) <!-- [rfced] Please clarify "equal" in this sentence. Is the intended 
meaning perhaps "equal to 1" (option A), or should "equal" be removed (option 
B)? We also suggest rephrasing the last part of the sentence to avoid 
hyphenating the expansion of "EOM".

Original:
   vuh_auxiliary_video_flag equal indicates if the associated geometry
   or attribute video data unit is a RAW and/or EOM coded points video
   only sub-bitstream.

Perhaps A:
   vuh_auxiliary_video_flag equal to 1 indicates if the associated
   geometry or attribute video data unit is a video-only sub-bitstream
   containing RAW and/or explicit occupancy map (EOM) points.

or
Perhaps B:
   vuh_auxiliary_video_flag indicates if the associated geometry or
   attribute video data unit is a video-only sub-bitstream containing
   RAW and/or explicit occupancy map (EOM) points.
-->

<!-- [authors]: We would prefer the following definition, which is perhaps
   the most unambiguous.-->

8) <!-- [rfced] Please review whether any of the notes in this document (marked 
with "NOTE:") should be in the <aside> element. It is defined as "a container 
for content that is semantically less important or tangential to the content 
that surrounds it"
(https://authors.ietf.org/en/rfcxml-vocabulary#aside).
-->

<!-- [authors] We've moved all informative notes into the <aside> elements.
   These are just notes after all. We've also clarified the
   informative nature of the second note below. -->

9) <!--[rfced] For consistency, we have updated "must not" to "MUST NOT"
as shown below. Please let us know of any objections.

Additionally, is it correct that an FU MUST NOT contain "a subset of"
another FU? Or would it be clearer to say an FU MUST NOT contain "any part of" 
another FU?

Original:
   FUs MUST NOT be nested; i.e., an FU must not contain a
   subset of another FU.

Current:
   FUs MUST NOT be nested; i.e., an FU MUST NOT contain a
   subset of another FU.
 -->

<!-- [authors]: It felt repetitive to capitalize both instances of "must
   not" considering that the second instance was simply clarifying the
   first instance. However, We are happy to capitalize both instances as
   recommended. The intention is to forbid any nesting of FUs, be it
   another complete FU or a portion of another FU. We would therefore
   prefer the "Current" wording. -->

10) <!-- [rfced] May we rephrase the following paragraph and add parentheses 
for easier readability?

Current:
   The FU payload consists of fragments of the payload of the
   fragmented NAL unit so that if the FU payloads of consecutive FUs,
   starting with an FU with the S bit equal to 1 and ending with an FU
   with the E bit equal to 1, are sequentially concatenated, the
   payload of the fragmented NAL unit can be reconstructed.

Perhaps:
   The FU payload consists of fragments of the fragmented NAL unit
   payload such that if the payloads of consecutive FUs (starting
   with an FU with the S bit set to 1 and ending with an FU with
   the E bit set to 1) are sequentially concatenated, the payload of
   the fragmented NAL unit can be reconstructed.
-->

<!-- [authors] Please keep the current wording as it is aligned with
   similar text in other RFCs. -->

11) <!-- [rfced] <artwork> and <sourcecode> elements

a) Please review each artwork element and let us know if any should be marked 
as sourcecode (or another element) instead.

We updated <artwork> to <sourcecode> in several sections. Please review and 
confirm that this is correct.

In addition, please consider whether the "type" attribute of any sourcecode 
element should be set and/or has been set correctly.

The current list of preferred values for "type" is available at 
https://www.rfc-editor.org/materials/sourcecode-types.txt. If the current list 
does not contain an applicable type, feel free to suggest additions for 
consideration. Note that it is also acceptable to leave the "type" attribute 
not set.

b) To improve the formatting of Sections 7.2 and 7.3, may we remove the 
parameters from their respective <artwork> elements and place them into 
definition lists for readability and consistency with other definition lists 
throughout the document?
-->

<!-- [authors] a) We reviewed all <artwork> and <sourcecode> elements.
   We also considered the type attribute for the <sourcecode> elements.
   These look ok to us.
   b) Yes, definition lists are sure better for readability.
   We've taken the liberty to implement the change.
-->

12) <!--[rfced] FYI: For consistency, we updated "ssprop-v3c-sei" to 
"sprop-v3c-sei" in Table 2. Please let us know of any objections.
-->

<!-- [authors] This was a good catch. Thank you. --

13) <!-- [rfced] Should "parameter" be singular or plural in this sentence?

Current:
  A simple bitrate adaptation for congestion control can be achieved
  when real-time coding is used for V3C video components where quality
  parameter can be adaptively tuned.

Perhaps (plural):
  A simple bitrate adaptation for congestion control can be achieved
  when real-time coding is used for V3C video components where quality
  parameters can be adaptively tuned.
-->

<!-- [authors] The plural is indeed more accurate. Updated. -->

14) <!--[rfced] May we update these sentences for clarity as shown below (i.e., 
update "PT equal to" to "PT values")?

Original:
   PT equal to 96, 97, 98 and 100 correspond to occupancy, geometry, and
   attribute video component as well as atlas data component for atlas
   zero. PT equal to 101, 102, 103 and 104 correspond to respective
   components for atlas one.

Perhaps:
   PT values 96, 97, 98, and 100 correspond to the occupancy, geometry,
   and attribute video components, as well as the atlas data component,
   for atlas zero. PT values 101, 102, 103, and 104 correspond to the
   respective components for atlas one.
-->

<!-- [authors] The proposal sounds good to me. Updated.-->

15) <!--[rfced] In Section 10.2, may we remove the "Notes" from the ABNF 
sourcecode and place the text below (outside of) the sourcecode as shown below?

Also, may we add a normative reference (RFC 5234) for the ABNF grammar?

Original:
  v3cfmtp-value = byte-string
  ; Notes:
  ; - The V3C format parameters are V3C media type parameters and
  ;   need to reflect their syntax.
  ; - "byte-string" is as defined in RFC 8866.

Perhaps:
  v3cfmtp-value = byte-string

  Notes:
  - The V3C format parameters are V3C media type parameters and
    need to reflect their syntax.
  - "byte-string" is as defined in [RFC8866].
  - ABNF grammar is as defined in [RFC5234].
-->

<!-- [authors] The proposal sounds reasonable, We've implemented the change.
   Also added the normative reference for ABNF grammar. -->

16) <!-- [rfced] Should the following include a citation to BCP 195 (which 
includes RFCs 8996, 9325, and 9852), or is the intention to only point to RFC 
9325?

Current:
    (D)TLS-based protection: For guidance on using TLS 1.3
    and DTLS, applications should refer to BCP 195, including [RFC9325],
    which provides up-to-date recommendations.
-->

<!-- [authors] We should have had a generic citation to BCP 195, it was not
   intention to limit only to RF9325. We've updated to refer to BCP 195
   directly. -->

Final Review for RFC-to-be 10034 <draft-ietf-avtcore-rtp-v3c>

Your document is now available for Final Review (previously AUTH48). Once it 
has been reviewed and approved by you and all coauthors, it will be published 
as an RFC.
If an author is no longer available, there are several remedies; see the 
Unavailable Authors section 
(https://authors.ietf.org/rfc-publication-process#unavailable-authors).

You and you coauthors are responsible for engaging other parties (e.g., 
Contributors or Working Group) as necessary before providing your approval.

Planning your review
---------------------

Please review the following aspects of your document:

*  RFC Editor questions

  Please review and resolve any questions raised by the RFC Editor
  that have been included in the XML file as comments marked as
  follows:

  <!-- [rfced] ... -->

  These questions will also be sent in a subsequent email.

*  Changes submitted by coauthors

  Please ensure that you review any changes submitted by your
  coauthors.  We assume that if you do not speak up that you
  agree to changes submitted by your coauthors.

*  Content

  Please review the full content of the document, as this cannot
  change once the RFC is published.  Please pay particular attention to:
  - IANA considerations updates (if applicable)
  - contact information
  - references

*  Copyright notices and legends

  Please review the copyright notice and legends as defined in
  RFC 5378 and the Trust Legal Provisions
  (TLP – https://trustee.ietf.org/license-info).

*  Semantic markup

  Please review the markup in the XML file to ensure that elements of
  content are correctly tagged.  For example, ensure that <sourcecode>
  and <artwork> are set correctly.  See details at
  <https://authors.ietf.org/rfcxml-vocabulary>.

*  Formatted output

  Please review the PDF, HTML, and TXT files to ensure that the
  formatted output, as generated from the markup in the XML file, is
  reasonable.  Please note that the TXT will have formatting
  limitations compared to the PDF and HTML.


Submitting changes
------------------

To submit changes, please reply to this email using 'REPLY ALL' as all the 
parties CCed on this message need to see your changes. 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 an archival mailing list
     to preserve discussion about the document while in the RPC editorial
     queue; 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.


Approving for publication
--------------------------

To approve your RFC for publication, please reply to this email stating that 
you approve this RFC for publication.  Please use 'REPLY ALL', as all the 
parties CCed on this message need to see your approval.
