Hi Brian

Thanks for the review. I left draft-09 until I heard other comments.

This latest round of comments - including the SecDir review from Russ Housley 
shows that there is still an impedence mis-match between the title/abstract and 
the intended status of Standards Track versus an Informational draft or best 
practices.

I feel that the use of "Guidelines" in the title, and "guidance" in the 
abstract point to an Informational draft rather than a Standards track.

This draft is a Proposed Standard (not an Informational or BCP) because the 
MUST and REQUIRED noted in section 6 of the doc are absolute requirements for 
an NFSv4 multi-domain file name space to work. These can not be BCP as an NFSv4 
multi-domain file name space will _not_ work without these requirements.

I have completed a draft-ietf-nfsv4-multi-domain-fs-reqs-10 with the following 
changes:

1) The title to be changed from

"Multiple NFSv4 Domain Namespace Deployment Guidelines"

to

"Multiple NFSv4 Domain Namespace Deployment Requirements"


2) The first sentence in the abstract (and in the introduction) to be changed 
from

   This document provides guidance on the deployment of the NFSv4
   protocols for the construction of an NFSv4 file name space in
   environments with multiple NFSv4 Domains.

to
   This document presents requirements on the deployment of the NFSv4
   protocols for the construction of an NFSv4 file name space in
   environments with multiple NFSv4 Domains. 


Another common area of comment concerned the “Stand-alone Examples" examples 
section 5 and "Stand-alone Examples and Multiple NFSv4 Domain Namespaces” 
section 8. These section describe "alternatives and differing scenarios” to 
highlight the need for the requirements described in section 6.

I addressed the example sections comments by adding clarifying text to each of 
these sections as well as moving the second section from 8 to section 7.

I have also addressed the remaining comments from Brian, Russ, Alexey Melnikov, 
and Kathleen Moriarty.

I’ll upload the new draft soon.
