David,

Thanks for the review of draft-edwards-mime-mxf-01.txt!

I was wondering which mentions of "essence" in Section 3.1 you thought
would benefit most from explanation of essence and examples (such as
"Interoperability considerations" or "Applications which use this media
type", etc.)

The SMPTE definition of essence is "The raw video, audio, and data
streams to be contained and described by MXF." (SMPTE 377M)

SMPTE currently has standards for the mapping of these essence types to
the MXF generic container:  MPEG, DV-DIF, Uncompressed Pictures,
SDTI-CP, D-10, D-11, AES3 audio, Broadcast Wave audio, and A-Law audio.

Subject: GenART review of draft-edwards-mime-mxf-01.txt

Background for those who may be unaware of GenART:

GenART is the Area Review Team for the General Area of the IETF.
We advise the General Area Director (i.e. the IETF/IESG chair) by
providing more in depth reviews than he could do himself of documents
that come up for final decision in IESG telechat.  I was selected
as the GenART member to review this document.  Below is my review,
which was written specifically with an eye to the GenART process, but
since I believe that it will be useful to have these comments more
widely distributed, others outside the GenART group are included.

This review was done as part of IETF Last Call.

Review criteria: "Is this document a reasonable contribution to the
area of Internet engineering which it covers?  If not, what changes
would make it so?"

This draft is basically ready for publication as an Informational
RFC, but has nits that should be fixed before publication. 

I found one minor nit - Section 3.1 uses the phrases "compressed
essence types" and "essence types".  That terminology should be
explained and the explanation should include a few specific
examples of such types.

Thanks,
--David
