Todd, please do not inject misleading assertions. Generally, wordsmithing, fixing grammar/punctuation etc. in a few places of a draft, or -- as in this case -- improving the visual presentation and hence the readability of a table, and updating the references (obviously necessary after half a year of inactivity of the group and its chairs with regard to this document) can not be seen as "changing the specification". Even more, the missed editorial review now acted upon already had been out for the v06, around IETF in Dublin. It should be in the proper interest of the WG to deliver drafts in high editorial quality to the IESG, since doing so decreases the probability of having to respin a draft iteration for that purpose later, or even letting the RFC Editor fix that stuff. Indeed, all these changes could have been left to the RFC Editor, but if they don't have to, the processing is significantly speeded up, to the benefit of all -- and you can review the improved draft _before_ it is getting forwarded, so this way I believe the spirit of the IETF process is followed even better! Kind regards, Alfred Hönes. -- +------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ | TR-Sys Alfred Hoenes | Alfred Hoenes Dipl.-Math., Dipl.-Phys. | | Gerlinger Strasse 12 | Phone: (+49)7156/9635-0, Fax: -18 | | D-71254 Ditzingen | E-Mail: [email protected] | +------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
