[Med] These are examples from current registries maintained by IANA to insist
on the importance on providing guidance on how to spell out when ids begin with
a number
- If the name in the IANA registry does not comply with the
naming conventions listed in Section 4.3.1, the procedure MUST
detail how IANA can generate legal identifiers from such a
name. Specifically, if the name begins with a number, it is
RECOMMENDED to spell out the number when used as an identifier.
IANA should be provided with instructions to perform such task.
As we worked this part with IANA, I prefer to not touch it.
EV> :( but the choice is yours
[AB] The initial example was that ‘3des-cbc’ should be written as ‘tripleDes’,
and not knowing how to pronounce ‘3des-cbc’, we wondered if we were being given
general guidance as to how to write out numbers that appear at the beginning of
a name (e.g., a name beginning with ‘2’ would be presented as ‘double’). ‘6to4’
seemed to be the only readily available counterexample. (And it’s not uncommon
for a newly-created IANA-maintained YANG module to include registrations that
are 20+ years old.)
Thanks,
Amanda
