Med, Jan, WG,

I have to say that I read the discussion concluding with to NOT change the current recommendation, see https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/netmod/0Q0YiyNi15V-Szzf5awLVh-15_c/

I personally use an ereader (or computer) more than paper and having to go to a static URL -- probably when I'm off line -- does NOT seem like something we should be recommending.  Furthermore, I'm not sure what our process has to say about having the HTML include *text content* that is not in the text version.

Again just my perspective.

What do others think? do they feel strongly that this change from the current recommendation (in RFC8340) of having long trees in appendixes is a good or bad idea? (Yes, I'm in the strongly against camp.)

Thanks,

Lou

Hi Lou,

  * The comment that triggered the change and companion thread where
    this was discussed and changes proposed can be seen at:

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/netmod/-b2HX0XUK49qJB19LHu6MC0D9zc/.

Please note that for html version can still include the long tree,

The tooling may evolve in the future to provide better rendering

of too long trees.  This tooling may offer (but not limited to),

unfold trees, control of expanded views, ease navigation among

various levels of a tree, support of hyperlinks, etc.  When such a

tooling is available, too long trees can be displayed in the HTML

version of documents that include such trees.

  * The candidate change was shared with the WG prior to IETF#119:

Hi,

I have a late comment as contributor on this draft (based on a co-chair discussion).

Looking at the diff relative of section 3.4 to the original document, I think the idea of referencing a URL versus an appendix is a bad idea. The new text in question:

" If the complete tree diagram for a module becomes long (more than 2 pages, typically), the diagram SHOULD be split into several smaller diagrams (a.k.a subtrees). For the reader's convenience, a subtree should fit within a page. If the complete tree diagram is too long (more than 5 pages, typically) even with groupings unexpanded (Section 2.2 of [RFC8340]), the authors SHOULD NOT include it in the document. A stable pointer to retrieve the full tree MAY be included."

I prefer the original in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8340#section-3.3 which

(a) does not have conformance language and

(b) keeps the information as available as the document itself by including the long diagram in an appendix.

I would like to see this section reverted to the original.

Authors,

What is the motivation for the change to URLs and making this a "SHOULD NOT"?

Thanks,

Lou

    Thank you everyone, especially Med, for your diligence in
    resolving issues!

    The next step is the Shepherd write-up.  Would anyone in the WG be
    willing to volunteer to help out with it?

    Thanks,

    Kent and Lou (chairs)
