3.2.1.  Identification of Reported Events, Event Classes, and Current
        State

   When present, the body of the NOTIFY request MUST be formatted into
   one of the body formats specified in the "Accept" header field of the
   corresponding SUBSCRIBE request.  This body will contain either the
   state of the subscribed resource or a pointer to such state in the
   form of a URI (see Section 5.4.13).

Nit: or the default according to the event package definition, if no Accept
header field was specified.

I've added text to point this case out.

Also, it might be good to reference RFC 3986 for URIs here.

Given that SIP uses URIs everywhere, I'm not sure what benefit is derived by referencing the URI syntax draft here.

4.1.1.  Detecting Support for SIP Events

   The extension described in this document does not make use of the use
   of "Require" or "Proxy-Require" header fields; similarly, there is no

Nit: too many "use of".

Fixed.

4.1.3.  Receiving and Processing State Information

   To prevent spoofing of events, NOTIFY requests SHOULD be
   authenticated, using any defined SIP authentication mechanism.

Minor: How can this SHOULD be satisfied? Any reference which might be appropriate here?

Added: "...such as those described in sections 22.2 and 23 of [RFC3261]."


4.2.1.3.  Authentication/Authorization of SUBSCRIBE Requests

   SIP authentication mechanisms are discussed in [RFC3261].  Note that,
   even if the notifier node typically acts as a proxy, authentication
   for SUBSCRIBE requests will always be performed via a "401" response,
   not a "407;" notifiers always act as a user agents when accepting

Nit: Is the ";" after "407" a typo?

Thanks -- that should have been outside the quotation marks (and probably should be a full stop, which I've changed it to).


4.4.4.  Allow-Events header field usage

   The "Allow-Events" header field does not include a list of the etvent

 typo: event

I don't find "etvent" in the document:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sipcore-rfc3265bis-07#section-4.4.4

Is it possible you accidentally edited a local copy of the file prior to your review?

I also don't find this typo in the source (which would surprise me in any case, as I made sure to run the -07 version through a spell checker).

   template packages supported by an implementation.  If a subscriber
   wishes to determine which event template packages are supported by a
   notifier, it can probe for such support by attempting to subscribe to
   the event template packages it wishes to use.

Can you clarify how such request would look like? An example would be nice.

I'm not sure what you're asking for here. It would be a SUBSCRIBE message, with an "Event" header field set to name the template you want to use. Basically it just says "we don't negotiate templates -- just try it and see if it fails."

5.4.3.  SUBSCRIBE Request Bodies

   It is expected that most, but not all, event packages will define
   syntax and semantics for SUBSCRIBE request bodies; these bodies will
   typically modify, expand, filter, throttle, and/or set thresholds for
   the class of events being requested.  Designers of event packages are
   strongly encouraged to re-use existing MIME types for message bodies
   where practical.

Nit: MIME types are now called "media types" in more recent IETF RFCs.

Thanks. Fixed in three places.

I would recommend pointing to the Media Type Registration Procedure document [RFC 4288] here, which points to the IANA registry.

Done.


5.4.5.  NOTIFY Request Bodies

   Event packages also MUST define which MIME type is to be assumed if
   none are specified in the "Accept" header field of the SUBSCRIBE
   request.

The same nit as above.

Fixed.


7.2.  Reason Codes

   This document further defines "reason" codes for use in the
   "Subscription-State" header field (see Section 4.1.3).

   Following the policies outlined in "Guidelines for Writing an IANA
   Considerations Section in RFCs" [RFC5226], new reason codes require a
   Standards Action.

Minor: This would prevent registration of new Reason Codes in an Experimental RFC (for example). I would like to double check that that is intentional.

It never came up explicitly during working group discussions, to my memory.

   Registrations with the IANA include the reason code being registered
   and a reference to a published document which describes the event
   package.  Insertion of such values takes place as part of the RFC
   publication process or as the result of inter-SDO liaison activity.

I don't think Standards Action allows for "inter-SDO liaison activity", unless such documents from other SDOs are published as Standard Track RFCs. So I find your text confusing: either your registration procedure should also allow for direct IESG approvals (to allow registrations from other SDOs with no RFCs), or you should remove "as the result of inter-SDO liaison activity".

You're right. I suspect we really intended to make this registrable by external SDOs, meaning we probably really wanted Specification Required. I'm leaving this as-is for now, and will need to coordinate with our AD to iron out where to go with this.

8.4.  Augmented BNF Definitions

   event-type        =  event-package *( "." event-template )

Minor: Does this mean that multiple template packages can be applied?
Is there any ordering for them?
Yes, and yes.
How would "foo.A.B" differ from "foo.B.A"?

Right now, we have only one template defined -- but imagine that we did define a new "list" template event package (we almost did this some years ago) which is used to aggregate several resources into a single subscription.

"Event: presence.winfo.list" would subscribe to the aggregation of several watcher-info documents into a single list.

"Event: presence.list.winfo" would subscribe to the watcher-info state of the indicated list.

Nit: id-nits complains:

-- Duplicate reference: RFC4660, mentioned in 'RFC4660', was also mentioned
     in 'RFC 4660'.

"[RFC 4660]" reference is used in section 7.2.

id-nits is wrong. It incorrectly thinks that the paragraph starting with [RFC4660] on page 40 is trying to define a reference.
