Elywn's thorough Gen-ART review pointed out some areas that still need 
attention.   I'm working with Brian to be sure we understand everything 
provided by Elwynm, and to release another version.

Summary: Ready with issues: The fixes to RFC 4119 are not correct and the 
errata interact with those identified in eid1771 which need to be fixed at the 
same time.  There are also a couple of nits in the list of RFCs that are 
identified of not suffering from the eid1535 problem

Major issues:

Minor issues:

s1, para 2:  Some related issues with the schema that provides the definitions 
of retransmission-allowed, retention-expiry and external-ruleset are reported 
and verified in eid1771.  These should be fixed here and the eid1771 work 
documented

s2.1:  The corrections to Section 2.3 of RFC 4119 don't match the errata.  The 
draft specifies

"Example Location Objects", replace both occurrences of

There is only one example of a 'no'.  The second one is a 'yes'.

Additionally eid1771 points out an additional error in the items being 
corrected here and the other items mentioned below, viz.
retransmission-allowed, retention-expiry and external-ruleset are not in the
geopriv10 schema but the additional geopriv10:basicPolicy schema
(https://www.iana.org/assignments/xml-registry/schema/pidf/geopriv10/basicPolicy.xsd)
as mentioned in Section 2.2.5 of RFC 4119:

So, make the following changes in s2.1:

OLD:

Section 2.3 "Example Location Objects", replace both occurrences of:

<gp:retransmission-allowed>no</gp:retransmission-allowed>

With:

<gpb:retransmission-allowed>false</gpb:retransmission-allowed>

NEW:

Section 2.3 "Example Location Objects", replace the two occurrences of:
    xmlns:gp="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10"

With

    xmlns:gp="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10"
    xmlns:gpb="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:basicPolicy"

and replace the occurrence of

    <gp:retransmission-allowed>no</gp:retransmission-allowed>

With:

    <gpb:retransmission-allowed>false</gpb:retransmission-allowed>

and replace the occurrence of:

    <gp:retransmission-allowed>yes</gp:retransmission-allowed>

With:

    <gpb:retransmission-allowed>true</gpb:retransmission-allowed>

END

s2.1: Additional items in the errata.  Erratum eid1535 also contains two 
trivial element name matching problems between s2.2.2 and s2.2.5 for 
retention-expires vs retention-expiry and ruleset-reference vs 
external-ruleset.  It might be sensible to fix these two problems by correcting 
the element names in s2.2.2 while RFC 4119 is being modified.

s2.3: The problem identified in eid1771 also applies to RFC5774

OLD:

[RFC5774] Section A.5 "Example", replace:

    <gp:retransmission-allowed>yes</gp:retransmission-allowed>

With:

    <gp:retransmission-allowed>true</gp:retransmission-allowed>

NEW:

[RFC5774] Section A.5 "Example", replace:

        xmlns:gp="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10"

With:

        xmlns:gp="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10"
        xmlns:gpb="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:basicPolicy"

and replace:

    <gp:retransmission-allowed>yes</gp:retransmission-allowed>

With:

    <gpb:retransmission-allowed>true</gp:retransmission-allowed>

END

Other RFCs:

RFC5580, s4.4, para 2: Does Retention Expires really refer to retention-expiry?

RFC6397, s6: Refers incorrectly to retention-expires and ruleset-reference.

Nits/editorial comments:

I notice that the abbreviation PIDF-LO was never formally introduced in RFC
4119 - it makes its appearance unexpanded in s6.1 in IANA Considerations.  It 
is a bit late to correct this but it would help to add the expansion at the 
beginning of this draft.
