I have been selected as the General Area Review Team (Gen-ART)
reviewer for this draft (for background on Gen-ART, please see
http://www.alvestrand.no/ietf/gen/art/gen-art-FAQ.html).
Please resolve these (slightly belated - sorry) comments along with any
other Last Call comments you may receive.
Summary
=======
If the open issue noted in s3.1 is resolved by maintaining the current
proposal (REPORTEXPUNGED not allowed with FETCH command) then this
document is almost ready to go as proposed standard, modulo the
discussions in the imapext wg. If the decision goes the other way
significant extra text will be needed to explain the semantics of the
additional usage. There are a few editorial nits to fix (especially the
apparent espousal of magic in the abstract and s2).
Issues
======
s3.1: There is an open issue here: Whether the modifier is allowed with
the FETCH command as well as the UID FETCH command. This needs to be
resolved before the doc goes to the IESG. [Meta-issue: having different
semantics for the same extension on UID FETCH and FETCH might be confusing.]
Editorial
=========
Abstract: 'gives a disconnected client ability to quickly learn about
expunged messages'
I always said the Internet worked by magic :-) ... maybe 'gives a client
that has been disconnected for a period the ability, on reconnection, ...'
s2/s4-para 2: Same point as for the abstract. Might also help to modify
'allows a client' to 'allows a reconnecting client' in s2.
s2: 'flag changes' is potentially ambiguous - it can also mean to
provide notification. I think 'synchronize changes in flag values
relating to previously seen messages'.
s3.1, para 2: s/The REPORTEXPUNGES FETCH modifier/The REPORTEXPUNGES UID
FETCH modifier/ - or some other way to make it clear that immediately
that this is the semantics for UID FETCH only.
s3.1, para 4: s/flag changes/flag value changes/
s3.2, first example display: s/\Deleted messaged/\Deleted messages/?
s3.2, para before last example display: s/can look like/might look like/
s4, para 3: s/NOMODSEQ/a NOMODSEQ/, s/more general instructions/the more
general instructions/
