Minor Issues: I previously gave the following comment:
“Regarding SDP, I think it would be good to have the ABNF syntax for
the a=fmtp parameter (currently you only have descriptive text of the
different parameters). It makes the life for the parser implementers
much easier :)”
I guess one, by reading section 7 and the examples, can figure out how
to encode the a=fmtp parameter, but I think it would to explicitly
define the syntax.
Hi Christer,
(For the record, I just recently took over responsibility for PAYLOAD,
so if I'm misinterpreting things, someone please tell me :-) )
While I can see that as a "might be nice" addition, I don't think it's
something that we have required of other payload drafts.
draft-ietf-payload-rtp (in RFC ed queue) says the following about ABNF
for SDP parameters:
"Not that commonly used in RTP payload formats but may be useful when
defining Media Type parameters of some complexity."
If I'm reading correctly, the FMTP parameters in this draft fit the
pretty common "semicolon delimited list of parameter=value pairs", so I
don't think this rises to the level of "some complexity".
So unless you think the parameters in this draft are more complex than
average, I don't think we need to add them at this late stage. It might
be worth discussing whether we should ask authors of future payload
drafts to include ABNF for this sort of thing.
Thanks!
Ben.
